Last month the royal couple waved off son Prince Christian, 15, as he started at Denmark’s oldest boarding school, Herlufsholm by the River Suså in Næstved, located south of Copenhagen.

The three royal family members posed for a collection of photographs to celebrate the occasion, which were then shared to the Danish household’s social media accounts.

Prince Christian’s cousin Prince Nikolai of Denmark attended Herlufsholm from 2015 to 2018 – but this is the first time a future monarch has enrolled at the educational establishment.

One of four, Prince Christain’s siblings are Princess Isabella, 14, and ten-year-old twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.
