The Jordanian royals shared a photograph as the foursome met up earlier this week the King served as a staff officer at Defence Command Denmark and in the years since has held a position as a senior lecturer at the Institute of Strategy at the Royal Danish Defence College Frederik even trained as a frogman in the naval elite special operations forces one of the most notoriously challenging regimens the nation offers Prince Christian is following in the footsteps of his father who is known for his extensive military training Prince Christian has been enjoying a gap year and, before following in his father's footsteps, spent time working in East Africa – an experience into which he recently gave a rare insight via Instagram. In the post, shared to the official Instagram of the Danish Royal Family Christian offered a behind-the-scenes look at his trip Several pictures showed him getting stuck in with volunteering carrying buckets of water and laying bricks while others saw him smiling on the back of a quad bike appearing to tag a tranquilised lion and playing football with the locals ‘But now I'm also starting to look forward to returning home to the family in Denmark and celebrating Christmas in a few weeks And now I'm looking forward to new challenges In February I'll start working as a military officer.’ This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from The interior designer has created a contemporary bolthole in one of London’s smartest areas, and invited Tatler inside her home Prince Christian joined his family for his first ever New Year’s levée at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen Now, Christian will have to shelve his grand royal garbs for a uniform of a different kind, and shun his princely duties in favour of military rigour.
