Prince Erik was born on 8 November 1890, in the Yellow Palace, an 18th-century town house at 18 Amaliegade, immediately adjacent to the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen.[1] The third child of Prince Valdemar of Denmark and his wife Princess Marie of Orléans,[2] his father was a younger son of King Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel, and his mother was the eldest daughter of Prince Robert, Duke of Chartres and Princess Françoise of Orléans. His parents' marriage was reputed to be a political match.[3]

Prince Erik was christened 10 days after his birth and his godparents were his paternal grandparents, King Christian IX and Queen Louise of Denmark; his paternal uncle and aunt, Tsar Alexander III of Russia and Empress Maria Feodorovna; and his paternal uncle and aunt, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Louise of Denmark.

Later created Count of Rosenborg, Erik inherited the family estates.[4]
