On January 14, a statement from The Royal House revealed that King Frederik and Queen Mary's three youngest children were to become elephant knights.
The Order of the Elephant is Denmark's highest honour of chivalry. The King is Lord of the two royal orders, the aforementioned Order of the Elephant, and the Order of the Daneborg.
This means that the King's children are Knights of the Order of the Elephant following his proclamation which occurred on January 14, 2024.
The elephant knights are expected to be presented on their 18th birthday.
Around the time of Crown Prince Chrisitan's birthday milestone, Queen Margrethe awarded her grandson with the Order of the Elephant.
