Crown Prince Christian of Denmark (Martin Sylvest Andersen)
Crown Prince Christian of Denmark is going abroad! Queen Mary and King Frederik 's 18-year-old son will be traveling to Africa for an extended stay.
"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," the Danish Royal House announced on Aug. 30.
The Royal House noted that 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."
Back in 1986, King Frederik took part in an expedition to Mongolia, and in 1989, he worked at a vineyard in California for a year. Christian's paternal grandmother Queen Margrethe also went on longer trips to the East and South America in the 1960s.
Frederik's mother also noted at the time: "This summer you become a student, so your school days are over; but your apprenticeship only begins here, regardless of what you choose to do. You have good skills, you are physically active and you are aware of your responsibilities. You have empathy, you have always shown that, not least towards your siblings. The good qualities that you possess and the ballast that you bring from home will follow you everywhere."
