Queen Mary witnessed a very emotional moment of her son, Prince Christian, yesterday, Wednesday, June 4. In the midst of his military training, the heir moved all of Denmark with the gesture he made toward some young people. Taking advantage of a break, he received three teenagers at the Palace who gave him a very special book.
In it, the notes of gratitude and messages that took place on the day the prince celebrated his coming of age are compiled. For Queen Mary, that day was extremely special, and yesterday she relived it with great emotion.
Queen Mary gets emotional over Prince Christian's latest gesture
Prince Christian has become a true source of pride for Queen Mary. She not only witnesses his growth and training as heir to the throne, but also as a great person. Christian is at the Palace enjoying a break from his military training, but not from his institutional duties.
Thus, last Wednesday, the doors of Amalienborg opened for a very emotional event. Prince Christian received three young people who presented him with a very special book. It's an object they had been working on for a year, where the messages and words of gratitude from his birthday are compiled.
October 15, 2024, was one of the most special days for Queen Mary. Christian, her firstborn, came of age and all of Denmark celebrated. Christiansborg Castle was adorned for the occasion and hosted about 200 guests who wanted to accompany the crown prince.
Among them were three young people who were in charge of collecting the messages, impressions, and memories of such a significant day. A year later, that work has paid off and has become a book that Prince Christian received a few days ago. The three gathered in the Palace rooms and shared some relaxed moments with Queen Mary's son.
Prince Christian, Queen Mary's greatest pride
During the meeting with the three young people, Prince Christian showed his role as the future successor to the throne. The gesture symbolizes the connection between the heir and the youth of the kingdom, highlighting the importance of citizen participation in the Danish monarchy. In addition, it reflects Christian's commitment to his generation and his future role as king.
All this took place before an emotional and proud Queen Mary, witnessing the development of her eldest son. Christian's military training has kept them apart since February, but now mother and son have reunited during this break. He has used this break to attend official commitments, ensuring his involvement with the Royal Family is evident.
The future king has shown he is ready to take on his responsibilities and represent his country with pride. However, he still has to complete his military education. Not long ago, he successfully completed the demanding military march known as REX-tur.
However, he still has to complete a training course for lieutenants that will begin in August 2025. Once finished, he will become a hussar of the Royal Guard, thus fulfilling the Danish family tradition.
Queen Mary still has days left to be apart from Prince Christian, but she is making the most of this brief pause. While she also has to attend official commitments, she feels calm and happy to have him at the Palace. The heir is expected to be seen at more events in the coming days before heading to his next academic destination.
