Princess Mary and Prince Frederik’s darling nephew, Prince Henrik of Denmark embarked on his very first day of school.
The very adorable six-year-old is the son of Prince Joachim, the younger brother to Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, and his wife Princess Marie of Denmark.
Henrik and three-year-old Anthea also have two older half brother’s, Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix, from Joachim’s first marriage to Alexandra Christina, Countess of Frederiksborg.
Dressed in a royal red long-sleeved polo, navy jeans and cute Chucks, Henrik was ready for his first day at big school.
The new student chatted to his family and posed for photographs with his loved ones outside their Copenhagen home.
His little sister, Princess Athena, joined the group for their photo op, although the three-year-old still has a few years to go before she has a first-day-of-school shoot of her own.
The milestone moment was gate-crashed by the resident royal cutie, the family dog, Apple, a Bichon Frise. The cheeky pup poked his head into the shots wanting in on the family’s festivities.
The six-year-old will be attending the private Catholic school, Sisters of St. Joseph, which is close to his home.
Apparently the little prince already has a favourite subject! Henrik told Danish newspaper BT that he was a huge fan of mathematics.
