In early 2020 the nine-year-old twins travelled to Switzerland with their older siblings to spend some months at the Lemania-Verbier International School. They all had to leave earlier than anticipated given the COVID-19 pandemic and home-schooled at the Palace until classes could resume at their Tranegårdskolen school in Denmark.
