My family and I would like to send the warmest Christmas greetings to everyone together”
The video marked Prince Christian’s first appearance since being diagnosed with coronavirus earlier this month. On Dec. 7, it was announced that the future King of Denmark had tested positive for COVID-19 following an outbreak at his school and was isolating apart from his family. The Crown Prince Couple and their three youngest children subsequently tested negative. Christian was staying in solitary confinement until Dec. 14, in accordance with the guidelines.
While Crown Prince Frederik and his family will be celebrating Christmas Eve at Frederik VIII’s Palace in Amalienborg, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark will spend the holiday at Marselisborg Palace with her younger son Prince Joachim and his wife Princess Marie, as well as Prince Henrik, Princess Athena, Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix.
