The Danish Royal House is famously private, so releasing this kind of behind-the-scenes footage is a total first.

Full Military Beast Mode
It’s not every day you see a royal trudging through the mud with a backpack the size of a small car, but that’s exactly what Denmark’s Crown Prince Christian just did.
And for the first time ever, the Danish Royal Family shared a full-on action video of it.
Crown Prince Christian Just Completed His Brutal “REX March”
The 18-year-old heir to the Danish throne has officially completed his time as a Guard Hussar, finishing with the famously grueling REX exercise, a rite of passage for Danish military trainees.
Think blisters, exhaustion, no sleep… and cameras rolling the whole time.
The Royal Family Did Something They’ve Never Done Before
In a break from royal tradition, the palace actually released a video showing Christian mid-march, complete with helmet hair, field gear, and full-on army grit.
It’s six minutes long, and yes, he speaks on camera. Unfiltered prince content, anyone?
Christian Admits: “I Expect to Be Pushed to the Limit”
In the video, the future king is seen getting real about what lies ahead.
“I expect to be pushed to the limit,” he says, and judging by the footage, he wasn’t wrong.
The video shows him trekking through forests, joining his team, and powering through rain and terrain.
Royal Fans Are Loving It
The comments are already flying in, and there’s one major observation people keep making: he looks exactly like his dad,
Crown Prince Frederik, during his own army days. Same serious stare. Same jawline. Same muddy boots.
What’s Next for Denmark’s Future King?
Christian’s not kicking back just yet.
The palace confirmed he’s headed straight for Lieutenant training this August, a major step up in his military path.
Not your typical post-gap year plans, but then again, this guy’s going to be king.
Why This Video Release Is a Big Deal
The Danish Royal House is famously private, so releasing this kind of behind-the-scenes footage is a total first.
It’s polished, sure, but it’s also raw in a way royal content usually isn’t. It’s giving “new-gen monarchy” energy, and people are here for it.
