Who is Christian from Denmark?

Christian of Denmark now ranks first in the line of succession and will play a more active role in certain institutional events since his father’s coronation, Vanity Fair magazine reports.

Everything seems to indicate that now as heir he will have a greater presence in public activities, unlike in previous years when his parents, then Prince Frederick of Denmark and his wife Mary Donaldson, focused on him having a normal childhood that includes education in public institutions.

Namely, the magazine recalls that Christian of Denmark was the first member of the Danish royal family to attend a kindergarten and then a state school.

As early as 2020, his parents sent him to a boarding school in Switzerland, and a year later he began high school education at the elite educational center Herlufsholm Gymnasium, from which he was removed due to the abuse scandal. So Christian from Denmark returned to the public center again, this time to Ordrup Gymnasium in Gentofte, where he still studies today.

His hobby is football, and since he was 16 he has had a license to hunt pheasants and deer.
