All rumors about Christian of Denmark are confirmed

He also worked on tasks related to environmental conservation, a period that, in his words, was an unforgettable experience. Christian shared: "I've been in Africa for almost three months. Everyday life down here is something completely different than at home."
"The food, the culture, the climate, the wildlife, the tasks, and the people make it an experience I will never forget. In recent weeks, I've been working with nature preservation. I'm overseeing animals in the bushes and taking care of the farm office."
