Born into the spotlight, Crown Prince Christian of Denmark is now all grown up. <\/p>\n

The eldest son of King Frederik and Queen Mary turned 20 on October 15, 2025, and is making his parents<\/a> proud. <\/p>\n

Read on to find out how the heir to the Danish throne is carving out his own path\u2026<\/p>\n

What is Crown Prince Christian up to now?<\/h2>\n

Crown Prince Christian had a lot to smile about as he turned 20. <\/p>\n

Not only is he in his first serious relationship with Emma Nygaard<\/a>, the prince recently completed his compulsory military training.<\/p>\n

And for the big birthday, he the most amazing present, being able to fly a fighter jet the day before. <\/p>\n

\u201cToday, a boy\u2019s dream came true,\u201d he posted a series of snaps from the moment on Danish royal family\u2019s official instagram account.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had the opportunity to get on one of the last training flights in an F-16 aircraft and wow, it was crazy,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

Possibly feeling a little jealous, his father King Frederik also came to watch on. <\/p>\n

Having signed up to stay on in the army as he takes additional courses to become a lieutenant, Christian might now have a new dream. <\/p>\n

\u201cUntil about a week ago, I actually thought I was too tall to fly an F-16,\u201d Christian told Billed Bladet when asked if he would pursue a career in the skies. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019ve since realised that I\u2019m not. So time will tell. It could be. You never know,\u201d he added with a smile.<\/p>\n

Royal watchers loved the post with many calling it his \u201cTop Gun moment\u201d and commenting on how \u201cgrown up\u201d he is ow. <\/p>\n

Thanks to his Australian-born mum, we have a little claim to the prince Down Under. His parents showed off the 1-year-old on his first visit to Oz. As well as meeting his Aussie relatives, Christian also got up close with the local wildlife at a park in Hobart. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
