Everytime I see Princess Josephine I think she is the secret boss of her family.
And I was thinking the same thing when I saw Princess Josephine with her arms folded

Prince Vincent’s monogram consists of the Prince’s first initial ‘V’ with a fixed classic left wing combined with a doubled lined right wing. King Christian II’s crown has been placed above the initial. Princess Josephine’s monogram consists of the Princess’s first initial ‘J’ and it is drawn as a calligraphic. She also has King Christian II’s crown placed above the initial.
The monograms were designed by graphic designer Charlotte Søeborg Ohlsen, with professional assistance from graphic designer Mads Quistgaard and graphic designer Cecilie Kirkeskov Knudsen.
Yes, very likely. That way my sister-in-law ended up with a fourth and fifth younger brother and sister... Instead of her parents only having a 4th child.Dear Ashelen. It was a natural pregnancy. And while F&M of course were very surprised it is actually not at all uncommon that when couples wish for a no. 3, then twins come along. F&M is a good example of that. It is scientifically proven that it is more common to have twins for women over the age of 35 than for younger women. This is due to an increased production of the hormone FSH, which can lead to women more often release more than just the normal one egg in a cycle compared to women under 35 years of age.

I think there are twins on Mary's side, but I doubt that's the reason here. It is most likely the age, as described above.
Quite true. I've met 2 years ago a British couple who had 4 children, the two youngest were twins. They said that they didn't have twins in the family for neither of them. They had a girl, and then they had a boy, and when they tried for the no.3 (a no.4 also came along /2 boys). They were so shocked and horrifiedDear Ashelen. It was a natural pregnancy.

IIRC Frederik has in a interview actually mentioned the twin pregnancy as a miracle as they ‘just’ tried for a no. 3 (The court informed by the way also back in time it was a natural pregnancy) so when F&M decided to work on no. 3, Mary's body (due to her age) most likely 'went a little ga-ga' and thus Mary produced 2 eggs instead of the normal one egg. And that means a good chance for twins if small little soldiers pass by. And then you end up with a no. 3 and a no. 4 (and fraternal twins)

Today we learned that Princess Leonor is going to study at a school in the United Kingdom. And will Prince Christian also study abroad?
What are the expectations about the prince's education?
I know it was brief and interrupted by Covid-19 but all four of them had a taste of studying in Verbier this time last year. I remember some posters speculating that it might be a trial run for longer term study abroad in the future.
I think that it is almost certain that Christian will study and or travel in Australia at some point.
Today 1. March is a special day for Prince Christian and many others Danish students, as today is the deadline for them to decide whether they will continue in high school after the summer holidays, or whether he wants to do something else.
Christian and his friends in 9th grade at Tranegårdskolen have most likely already decided what they want when they finish 9th grade, and it will be interesting to see what Prince Christian will do after the summer holiday.
.
In the portrait book about Crown Prince Frederik (Under the beam) Mary mentions that she and Frederik are very modern and at the same time very traditional in their relationship and life.
And that is also the impression I have of F&M in general.
So let me put it this way:
I would not be surprised if Christian goes the traditional way and chooses high school, maybe even the same high school that his father went to.
Neither would I be surprised if Christian breaks with the tradition (remember he and his siblings are the first and only Danish royal children to attend a municipal primary school) and take 10th grade at an continuation school for example with a focus on sports, and after that then attend high school.
Is it known if Christian plans to do an Albert of Monaco and reign and speak English with a normal Australian accent? That could get very amusing.
Is there any realistic possibility that someone like Prince Christian will not continue in the academic (university-bound) High School track after 9th grade ? I can't see that happening.
Could you please explain how the Danish education system works and what options are available to the students?
In America, there is only one single comprehensive High School system (apart from some specialized arts or science schools which nonetheless also lead to the standard High School diploma). There aren't really different academic or vocational tracks as in many European countries.
As someone who is interested in comparisons between educational systems ( as I work in education, although not in secondary school ). I see both advantages and disadvantages in the European model, but I would like to understand the Danish system better first.
