Crown Prince Christian does like his summer festival Festivals!
As does Isabella. I guess they take after their father.Crown Prince Christian does like his summer festival Festivals!
At least a couple of discreet pet-officers is following him in the background i’m sure…Has the Prince a high Security when he goes to Music Festivals. Is he with selected friends or among the people ?
Agreed. Nice that Chriatian can be a normal teen for the most part. And I mean he would not be the first heir to be seen a little spirited. Hey, at least he has not been photographed stumbling out of bars and nightclubs hammered and being shoved into cars and looking belligerent like I've seen.drinks and being silly with your friends, sounds like a great time.
Love the Danish royals enjoying their countries music festivals every summer.
I get that impression as well.Will Christian take a sabbatical? I don't think anything has been announced yet about what he will do this year.

Compared to other royal houses, Denmark is rather late to announce anything about Christian's future plans. Other royal houses were much earlier in announcing the plans for their heirs when they were about to finish secondary education: for Leonor it was already announced in March, for Amalia and Elisabeth it was announced in May and for Ingrid-Alexandra in June. They didn't wait until the last month to announce anything.Why would you recommend it?
It's still holiday time in Dk, the school year starts next week, the academic year on 1st September. So there is no hurry. And no need to speak of indecisiveness or desinterest.
There will be an announcement some time in the next 2 weeks, I am sure, and I am also sure there won't be any big surprise.
Only because in the rest of the European monarchies the regency only exists when the Monarch is incapacitated or the crown prince is a minor, not every time he leaves the country.This is Dk and they do things their way. Other heirs didn't act as Regent before they even finished school.

That's exactly the point, isn't it? Every royal family has their own way of doing things.Only because in the rest of the European monarchies the regency only exists when the Monarch is incapacitated or the crown prince is a minor, not every time he leaves the country.
And neither did Frederik at 18. There is no doubt Frederik, Mary, and to a lesser extent QMII, have been preparing Christian as Crown Prince since he was a boy, and he has seen his father as Crown Prince seen he was born.The Queen's sudden Abdication did not allow him to have a free an enjoying life as each Dane of 18 years old.
Does he even have to go into the military if he doesn't want to ?
Well, certainly QMII has never served in the military. However CP Christian’s father, uncle and grandfather did and I believe there is a certain expectation on heirs to the throne, who will one day be chiefs of their countries’ armed forces that they should experience some service life.
On 4 September, His Royal Highness The Crown Prince will set out for an extended stay in East Africa. There, The Crown Prince will be involved in the daily operation of two farms, which will, among other things, include practical and administrative tasks and also give The Crown Prince insight into local nature protection. The plan is for The Crown Prince to return to Denmark in December.
In The Royal Family, there is a long tradition that the successors to the throne go on extended stays abroad during their youth and have the opportunity to develop and experience the world. Thus, His Majesty The King took part in an expedition to Mongolia in 1986 focused on the nomads and, in 1989, worked for a year at a vineyard in California. Her Majesty Queen Margrethe also went on longer trips to the East and South America in the 1960s.
It is the hope of The King and Queen and The Crown Prince that there will be an understanding that the stay abroad remains a private matter from beginning to end. For this reason, no additional details about the stay will be made public.
