Overview

• At her own request, 14-year-old Princess Josephine will begin eighth grade at Spir Efterskole, a research-informed boarding school in Jutland for the upcoming school year.
• She becomes the first of King Frederik and Queen Mary’s four children to live away from home for her education, roughly three hours from Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen.
• The palace statement detailed Crown Prince Christian’s return to Antvorskov Barracks in Slagelse to complete his lieutenant training course.
• It confirmed that Princess Isabella will enter her final year at Øregård Gymnasium in Hellerup and that Prince Vincent will remain at Tranegårdsskolen for eighth grade.
