Mouthwash Princess: – Are you completely distant?
In other words, it is safe to say that the young prince faces a life unlike most others his age, and even though he still lives like most young people today, an enormous responsibility rests on the young shoulders.
It is therefore no wonder that he gets attention for most of what he does. In April, it became known that the 15-year-old will move away from home this autumn when he starts upper secondary school. This is because the prince will go to Herlufsholm boarding school, which is located in South Zealand.
