Prince Christian of Denmark captivated crowds outside the Amalienborg Castle in Copenhagen this morning as they gathered to celebrate his 18th birthday. The future king, renowned as one of Europe’s most eligible bachelors, will mark this milestone with a grand gala attended by members of European royal families. Looking sharp in a grey checked suit and navy tie, Christian exuded confidence as he waved to the adoring crowds. He was joined by his father, Crown Prince Frederik, and his grandmother, Queen Margrethe. His mother, Princess Mary, and his siblings, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent, and Princess Josephine, later joined him. Princess Mary, who was born in Australia, donned a stylish powder blue coat dress to stave off the chilly Danish autumn, while Queen Margrethe opted for a bold purple hue. The balcony appearance of three generations of monarchs—Queen Margrethe, Prince Frederik, and Prince Christian—elicited further excitement.
Prior to the festivities, well-wishers flocked to Copenhagen, and the royal family shared a collection of heartwarming childhood photographs of Christian. These previously unreleased snapshots, captured by Christian’s parents, Crown Princess Mary and Prince Frederik, provide an intimate glimpse into the prince’s personal memories. The photographs depict visits to Paris and Australia, skiing expeditions, tennis matches, and cherished moments with his late grandfather, Prince Henrik. Other members of the royal family, including Christian’s cousin Count Nikolai, also sent birthday wishes to the future king. The Danish Royal House released an official birthday portrait taken by Princess Mary and revealed the schedule of events for the day.
In a statement, the palace congratulated Prince Christian on his milestone birthday and provided details of the celebrations. At noon, the birthday boy, accompanied by the Crown Prince family and Queen Margrethe, will appear on the balcony of Frederik VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg. The statement invited everyone to attend the castle square and join in the celebration. At 5:00 pm, a gala dinner hosted by Queen Margrethe will take place at Christiansborg Castle, specifically welcoming young people from Christian’s generation. The birthday festivities also garnered a national acknowledgment as 15 October was officially declared a flag day in Denmark. In accordance with this new tradition, all state buildings and state ships will fly the Dannebrog on Prince Christian’s birthday.
Furthermore, the Danish Royal House showcased the preparations for the evening gala. Extravagant flower arrangements adorned the venue, complemented by the use of the royal family’s historic sol glass and porcelain tableware. Arrangements for the live television broadcast of the event were also underway. Additional details regarding the dress code and confirmed guests have trickled in, revealing that Prince Christian prefers guests not to bring presents and that photography will not be permitted. The gala is set to be one of the most glamorous events of the social calendar with a multitude of distinguished guests from the Commonwealth in attendance. Notable attendees include Prince Christian’s godfather, Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon, and his daughter Princess Ingrid Alexandra. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, another godparent, will be present with her husband and 11-year-old daughter. Other potential guests include Queen Maxima of the Netherlands and her husband King Willem Alexander, along with their two eldest daughters. Princess Leonor of Spain and Princess Elisabeth of Belgium might also make an appearance. In addition to royalty, the gala is expected to welcome notable young people and representatives from youth organizations. The Danish Royal Household recently shared a video on Instagram, showcasing the printing and dispatching of hundreds of invitations. The caption acknowledged the extensive guest list and the anticipation surrounding the event.
