Christian will be in Africa until December when he returns to Denmark.
Earlier this year, Christian graduated from Ordrup Gymnasium, bringing to an end his thirteen years of primary and secondary education in Denmark.
The eighteen year old Crown Prince is the eldest child of King Frederik X and Queen Mary. He became heir in January 2024 on the accession of his father as monarch. Since then, he has acted as regent several times when his parents have travelled overseas.
