The 19-year-old Prince has been spotted having fun at a festival

Some fresh photos of a young 19-year-old Royal have given a glimpse into how normal his life really is.

The 19-year-old Prince of Denmark has gotten as far away from prestige and ceremony as possible and has been spotted having fun at festival.

Christian is the eldest son of Australia’s own Queen Mary, who left Australia to marry King Frederik.

When they met Frederik, was still a prince.

Their romance and subsequent marriage sent Australia into quite the meltdown.

Over 20 years later and countless Women’s Weekly cover stories later, the couple are still together.

Queen Mary still visits home, and King Frederik officially took the throne in 2024; since then, the pair has ruled Denmark together.

Their 19-year-old son, on the other hand, who towers over his father, Frederik, who is 6 feet tall himself, was seen letting loose at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark.

He was spotted bro-ing out with his mates and looked just like any other festival goer. He even rocking a wristband.

The 19-year-old kept it very Gen Z chic in oversized denim shorts (the kind Adam Sandler used to wear when they were considered cringeworthy) and an oversized white T-shirt, along with worn-looking sneakers.

He was seen smiling, singing, dancing, in the crowd and hanging out with his mates. It was remarkably normal behaviour for someone who is set to become King.

Online people were thrilled to see the young royal living a relatively normal life and also amazed that he is now an adult.

“I love this for him. That he can spend a few days at a huge festival without really being bothered,” one cheered.

“He looks so matured,” another praised.

“When did he grow up so fast?” Another asked.

Christian’s festival partying comes after his parents announced last year that the heir to the Danish throne would be taking some time off before commencing any university studies.

It was announced he’d embark on an “extended stay in East Africa” where he’d be working on two farms doing both practical and administrative tasks.

After returning, he started his four-month military service at the Guard Hussar Regiment in February, and it has now been announced that he will commence Lieutenant training in August this year.

“The training starts in early August 2025 and lasts one year plus a subsequent period of practical service as a platoon leader. The Crown Prince will complete his ongoing military service with the Guard Hussar Regiment at the end of May,” The Royal House said in a media release.
