The debut of the (new) Danish royal family arrived a week after the coronation at the Sunday mass in the Aaarhus cathedral. King Frederik X, Queen Mary and their three children posed in front of the cathedral under heavy snowfall, applauded by the subjects. And the one who stole the show was Crown Prince Christian, 18 years old, first in line of succession to the throne, now one of the most coveted bachelors in Europe despite his young age.
Christian of Denmark, who is the crown prince
Christian turned 18 last October: he was born on October 15, 2005, the firstborn of Frederik and Mary, and his birth was a great celebration in Denmark and Australia (his mother is of Australian origin and met her royal husband in a pub in her homeland). Of Christian, with dark hair and blue eyes, it is said that he inherited the beauty of his father and the humor of his mother: his baptismal name, however, was decided following the Danish tradition, according to which the heir to the throne is alternately named either Frederik or Christian.
The educational path
The prince was the first of the Danish royals to go to kindergarten in 2007, until then the children of the royal family stayed at home with nannies and tutors. Not only that: he was also the first to go, subsequently, to public school. He started high school at Herlufsholm College in Næstved, but was then transferred when the said college ended up in the storm for cases of sexual abuse and bullying. Christian, who will graduate next May, however, already got his driver's license last year.
His parents have always protected the son from the spotlight, and it was decided that until his 21 years his public commitments would be limited. But now that he is officially the crown prince, things will probably change: certainly the suitors will multiply, as well as the attention of the media.
