Danish royals celebrate Easter

THE Danish royal twins have kicked off their first day of school with a press photoshoot, posing for traditional ‘first day’ snaps.

Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent, son and daughter of Prince Frederik and Australian-born Princess Mary, posed briefly for photographers outside of the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen with their parents before heading off for their first day of school.

As they stood with their parents, the young Prince seemed visibly more nervous than his sister; his eyes glassed with tears and a worried expression on his face.

According to Royal Central, Princess Mary confirmed the twins would be in separate classrooms, perhaps why Prince Vincent appeared a little nervous.

“They are each other’s best friends and can see each other in quarters. But we thought they should have some new comrades,” said Crown Prince Frederick.

Dressed in a Peter Pan collared summer dress and sandals, Princess Josephine smiled and told the media, “I’ll go to A and Vincent will go to B.”
