Danish royal experts say the life of Danish Prince Christian will change from next year when he turns 18. Prince Christian of Denmark, the eldest son of Crown Prince Frederick and third in line to the throne, celebrated his 17th birthday today.
October was an extraordinary month for the Danish royal family, which became embroiled in a quarrel after Queen Margrethe decided to strip 23-year-old Prince Nicholas, 20-year-old Prince Felix, 13-year-old Prince Henrix and Princess Athena of their royal titles. After nearly two weeks of tension within the family, Prince Joachim and Queen Margaret reportedly held talks to calm things.
Danish royal expert Russ explained that when Prince Christian turns 18, he will be given more duties, including carrying out royal activities. Crucially, if Christian's parents, Crown Prince Frederick and Princess Mary, go abroad, the young Prince Christian will serve as regent.
And in the past few years, Prince Christian has made headlines in Denmark for being spotted playing pranks with his friends. Last month, for example, he was photographed spraying champagne at his friends and classmates on a school ski trip. In early September, he made a reverse "OK" sign at his grandmother, Queen Margaret's Silver Jubilee celebration, which caused a stir because the logo was called "white power" in some far-right circles of the internet.
Although the act is widely seen as a silly joke, Danish royal experts warn that the prince should think more carefully about his behavior in public appearances. Royal correspondent Jacob Heinel Jensen said: "It may well be just a prank on him and his friends, but it is definitely not an appropriate activity. ”
