“Christian has indicated he’d like a gap year after school,” says an insider. “And Mary is suggesting he goes to Australia. She likes the idea of him working as a station hand in the outback.”
The source adds: “Christian likes the idea of living there properly for as long as he’s able before his responsibilities call him back to the palace, and his parents are fully supportive.”
The royal revelation comes after Christian gave fans a glimpse of his regal ability during a rare joint engagement with his dad, Crown Prince Frederik.
In July, Christian took the lead as the royal family discussed life in lockdown for a TV broadcast, which was shared on their official Instagram account, Det Danske Kongehus.
He said, “I miss seeing my friends and spending more time practising sports and being more active.”
The rare glimpse into their home lives was part of a TV program called Denmark Stands Together, a documentary showing the varying experiences of Danish families during the coronavirus lockdown.
Standing in casual puffer jackets and jeans, Princess Mary, Frederik and their children, Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, 13, Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent, both 9, told viewers about their daily routines, and how they have been staying active and positive.
“The world looks completely different today than it did just a few weeks ago,” Frederik said.
He added: “We all miss our normal everyday lives.”
Accompanying shots of the family playing soccer and the children jumping on the trampoline in the vast garden, Mary added, “We have come outside to get fresh air and to move. It is the second week of home education and it has required some transformation of both the children and us.”
Prince Vincent caused the whole family to laugh when he added that he found home schooling “really boring”.
