A new stamp featuring Prince Christian of Denmark has been released to mark his upcoming 18th birthday. The stamp was issued by the Greenlandic postal service and telecommunications company, Tusass.
Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik ’s eldest child is seen wearing a white anorak in the stamp. “The traditional white anorak that Prince Christian wears in the photo is the upper part of the male version of the Greenlandic national costume. Prince Christian’s father, HRH the Crown Prince, his grandfather, Prince Henrik, and his great-grandfather, Frederik IX, have all worn the Greenlandic anorak during their visits to Greenland as well as on a number of historical stamps,” the Danish Royal House noted.
