Meet Prince Christian of Denmark, son of Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary – his parents just pulled the 16-year-old out of Herlufsholm School due to shocking revelations
- The parents withdrew Prince Christian and Princess Isabella from the boarding school after allegations of abuse and sexual violence emerged, although the prince was not connected to them
- Christian was the first Danish royal to attend kindergarten and then public school in 2011 – but mum wasn’t too happy about his partying in Val Thorens, France
Prince Christian of Denmark, 16, the eldest child of Crown Prince Frederik, 54, and Princess Mary, 50, will no longer continue his education at the prestigious Herlufsholm School after reports of alleged sexual abuse and violence at the institution surfaced, according to Insider.
The royal couple confirmed Prince Christian’s departure in a statement and said they were “deeply shaken” by reports of sexual abuse and bullying at the school. The prince is not connected to the allegations, according to People.
Prince Frederik and Princess Mary said they also withdrew Princess Isabella, 15, and will no longer enrol this autumn. Moving forward, they will make a decision where to transfer the kids and consider the future school of their choice.
He is the first Danish royal to attend public school
Prince Christian broke tradition by becoming the first royal to attend nursery school as well as the first to attend a public state school, Tranegårdskolen, in Hellerup in 2011, according to British media.
In 2020, Christian, along with his siblings, began a 12-week programme at the international school Lemania-Verbier in Switzerland. However, it was cut short and they returned to Denmark due to the pandemic.
