And when he smiles ... he is all like his mother! He looks so much like his beautiful mom (and his grandpa John Donaldson). The smile is his mother's, but the gaze is his father's!
Wonderful new pictures. Happy birthday to a charming 15 year old Christian.. also to his father and mother who must be bursting with pride! 
Do I need to say that the Danish social media is going crazy right know?

Amazing pictures indeed!
No doubt those pictures are going to be posters for swooning teenage girls!

Happy Birthday Christian, very nice pictures, a cool teenager who seems to feel good in his own skin.
While in the first picture I could still see Frederik, especially the last picture Christian laughing is all Mary!!!

I would be more than a little surprised if you didn't have something negative to say, seeing it is a memer of the Crown Princely Family.
Lovely photos, it seems like only yeterday he was born. He has always been a caring and loving member of the family, he grows to a charming teenager. Happy birthday to Christian.

Christian is increasingly looking like his father.
I like the first and fourth picture, the middle two are contrived looking. I think that the photographer Franne Voigt has taken quite a few pictures of Frederik and other Danish royals and I suppose the photos that I find contrived looking will look better in a future picture book.

Wow!!!! So handsome!!! What a lovely set of pictures to mark his birthday! He looks so grown up now!
It's hard to believe that Prince Emmanuel and Prince Christian are exact the same age (only days difference), but growing works differently on each person, and it seems Prince Christian got an early growth (he looks like a 18 year old).

To the contrary, the Crown Princely Family receives more praise regarding their photographs than any other branch of the family.

Both the Crown Princely family and Prince Joachim's family are good-looking and very photogenic. My criticism was not that the photos didn't look good (they are actually very nice), but rather that they look more like pictures of a fashion model than of a royal prince.
I also agree with Kathia Sophia that Prince Christian already looks older than 15, especially in those pictures.

I agree. He has Frederik's look and gestures, but Mary's smile.
A lovely young man, a complete sweet heart with his siblings and parents. The pictures strike a good modern balance. And at 15 I'm sure Christian had a say or two. 
Mary's smile

Nice modern photos, eye level with the Danes

That´s way young Royalty is being photographed today - relaxed and "natural"- Denmark is not an exception here. And, no, looking at these photos, especially the b/w one and the one with dog "Grace", Christian looks the average 15 years old look like. I think one cannot compare the belgian Prince with Christian, as Emmanuel looks younger than he is whild Prince Christian looks the age he is.

Yes he has his father's eyes but definitely ugly his mother's smile or laugh. The photos were an interesting mix and yes Christian looked older than his years in the sports jacket but when smiling or laughing with his family he looked 15 maybe going in 16.
My sister texted me the photos of my 16yo nephew with. his date for the School Formal and he looked so suave and debonair wearing black tie and far older than 16. I smiled when I remembered he and his Grampy came into town to pick up his suit and stopped in for coffee. There they sat/slouched together on the sofa, identical expressions and mannerisms but he still looked 16.

He is definitely Mary's son in the picture of him smiling. He looks just like her.

I'm using my phone and the autocorrect drives me nuts. I type a word, it's okay. Then I hit space and merrily type on unaware that a word has been "corrected". Funny how the correction always seems to be in complete opposition to the sentiment being expressed.
As to where the "ugly" came from? Your guess is as good as mine because that entire family are differing versions of one or both parents as they grow through differing ages or stages.
