Since Crown Princess Mary will be staying with her children during this period of time, it was announced that she would also have a reduced schedule of official duties so that she can dedicate time to the youngest members of the Danish Royal family. It is said the  Crown Prince Frederik  will join his family as soon as his royal schedule permits. The couple made the joint decision to send their children to the prestigious school in hopes of giving them a unique learning experience.
