Neither have I. Although Swedish I keep myself updated on both regular Danish news and the royal news through TV, papers and podcasts and I've never heard anything about Prince Christian being careless or disrespectful about his future position. If he did we'd not even have this discussion since a certain reporter would be all over it.
A certain reporter, among other, already has.
It was IIRC in connection with the celebrations of QMII that Christian posed with his family and there he seemingly made a handsignal. A wasn't a rude gesture more like a Herlufsholm greeting.
Perhaps slightly inappropriate when the royal roadshow is on and there were a few remarks that he shouldn't make a habit of it.
But he was sixteen or so, and who hasn't done something a little silly at sixteen?
There have also been reports that he has been partying and drinking beer. Again, he's a teen and Danish teens drink - in fact they are infamous for it, but that's another discussion.
There have also been reports that he is not in want of attention from the girls - well, there's a surprise!
- That is the wildest I have heard about Christian.
Apart from that I have a genuine good impression of him.
He's a bright lad.
No snob. At least not openly.
A caring brother and a loving son.
Confident and at ease with being the spotlight. Able to answer in an intelligent and sensible manner.
He seems to have very good social skills.
I'll label him an extrovert from the little I really know about his personality.
He clearly seems to be very aware of who he is and his role, also in the future.
But of course it may just be a facade. He may be an obnoxious party prince.
That'll be taken out of him, once he's in boot camp though.
He may associate the wrong crowd and do stupid things, but so far there haven't been any reports of that. And keep in mind that both Frederik and Joachim were crucified by the public when they went to high school and were in a group that caused some disturbance at a celebration at the high school. If Christian pulled a similar stunt we would already know about it.
But as some of you have pointed out, there will be loads of portraits and interviews and documentaries about Christian when he turns eighteen. So in six months we will really know who he is.
ADDED: The infamous hand signal:
