King Frederik has confirmed, through a new statement, the latest rumors that have come to light about Prince Christian. Judging by this statement, both he and the rest of the Danish royal family couldn't be happier about the latest achievement accomplished by the young man.
A few days ago, Prince Christian, who is 19 years old, successfully completed the REX-tur military march. This demanding test is part of his training at the Guard Hussar Regiment, located in Slagelse.
After overcoming this tough physical and mental challenge, Prince Christian was officially recognized as a Guard Hussar. As expected, King Frederik's communications team and the Danish royal house quickly shared this important milestone of the heir to the throne.
They also took the opportunity to make a key announcement about what the next professional steps of Denmark's future monarch will be. This has brought great joy among the country's inhabitants:
"In relation to his military service in the Guard Hussar Regiment, the Crown Prince has also been accepted into the lieutenant training course."
King Frederik confirms the rumors about Prince Christian's new achievement and his future steps
In the statement issued by King Frederik, it is confirmed that Prince Christian's next training "will begin in early August 2025 and will last one year." He will also have to do "a subsequent period of practical service as a platoon leader."
With these steps, there is no doubt that the heir to the Danish throne wants to follow his father's example, who also developed his military career within the armed forces.
Just like other European heiresses such as the Princess of Asturias, Elisabeth of Belgium, or Ingrid of Norway, the young Dane has proved his commitment to military service and preparation.
However, before joining the army, Christian enjoyed a sabbatical period after completing high school in the summer of 2023. Between September and December, he traveled to East Africa, where he participated in the management of two farms and deepened his knowledge of environmental conservation issues.
"I've been in Africa for almost three months. Daily 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'll never forget," he said before becoming a soldier.
