On 15 May of this year, Prince Christian was confirmed in the Royal Chapel of Fredensborg Palace. Due to the ongoing pandemic, only Prince Christian’s immediate family attended the service.
But before that, he joined his grandmother, Queen Margrethe, for a church service at Asminderød Church near Fredensborg for confirmation preparation.
Family Fun
Prince Christian joined the rest of his family for a Christmas video on the Danish Royal Family’s Instagram account, sharing a look inside their home at Frederik VIII’s Palace.
And at Easter, the Crown Prince Family shared a snap with Queen Margrethe at Marseilisborg Palace.
Go Denmark! Prince Christian, his father, and cousins Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix cheered on Denmark ahead of the Euro 2020 match against Belgium on 17 June.
