Crown Prince Frederik: – Cancels Olympic tour

On Friday, the Olympic flame is lit in Tokyo, and one of those who had planned a trip to Japan was Danish Crown Prince Frederik (53). Now, however, the Crown Prince has chosen to shelve his travel plans.

This is stated by the Danish Royal Family in a press release, writes Danish BT.

Does not let in

The decision is due to stricter entry requirements in Japan, the press release states, and the fact that the Crown Prince has been in close contact with someone who is infected with the coronavirus.

This means that he is not allowed to enter the country, which this time is the host nation for the Olympic Games.

– The Crown Prince, who has been fully vaccinated against the virus, follows the authorities’ recommendations, says the Royal House, which continues:

– Neither Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess nor the couple’s four children are close contacts to the infected person.

Resigns role in IOC

Originally, the plan was for Denmark’s future king to have been present in Tokyo from 19 to 26 July.

The visit was to be his last formal appearance as an active member of the IOC – the International Olympic Committee.
