    Crown Prince Christian leaving for three-month work trip to East Africa

    ·

    Denmark’s Crown Prince Christian will go to East Africa for an extended work trip, the Royal House announced on Friday.

    The Crown Prince will leave on 4 September and stay until December.

    He will be involved in “the daily operation of two farms, which will, among other things, include practical and administrative tasks and also give the Crown Prince an insight into local nature conservation,” writes the Royal House in a press release.

    It added that there is a “long tradition that the successors to the throne go on extended stays abroad during their youth and have the opportunity to develop and experience the world”, and noted King Frederik X’s “expedition to Mongolia in 1986 focused on the nomads” and work on a vineyard in California in 1989.

    Her Majesty Queen Margrethe also went on longer trips to the East and South America in the 1960s.

    The Royal House said no additional information would be made public:

    “It is the hope of The King and Queen and The Crown Prince that there will be an understanding that the stay abroad remains a private matter from beginning to end.”
