The Danish Royal House has quietly unveiled new portraits of Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent, offering a rare glimpse of the youngest children of King Frederik X and Queen Mary.
The updated images were subtly added to the royal family’s official website this week, appearing on the biography pages for the 14-year-old twins. The portraits are more current and reflect the maturing styles of the young royals.
Prince Vincent is pictured wearing a smart checked blazer over a blue open-collar shirt, while Princess Josephine beams in a delicate pale blue broderie blouse adorned with floral details. The new photos capture both their individuality and the poised charm royal watchers have come to admire.
Though twins, Josephine and Vincent attend different schools. Josephine transferred to Kildegård Private School in 2023, while Vincent remains at Tranegårdsskolen in Gentofte.
The siblings recently appeared in public alongside their parents and elder sister, Princess Isabella, 18, during celebrations for King Frederik’s 57th birthday. The royal family gathered on the balcony of Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen, waving to crowds of well-wishers.
The family made a coordinated and stylish appearance: Frederik and Vincent both wore navy suits, Queen Mary donned a striking blue wrap dress, Princess Isabella opted for a fashion-forward burnt orange suit, and Josephine wore a floral blouse paired with cream wide-leg trousers. Queen Margrethe II, who had recently been hospitalized, also made a warmly welcomed appearance.
Noticeably absent from the event was Crown Prince Christian, the eldest son of Frederik and Mary — but for a significant reason.
Crown Prince Christian Completes Military Training
Earlier this week, the palace confirmed that Crown Prince Christian, 19, has successfully completed his basic military training with the Guard Hussar Regiment at the Antvorskov Barracks in Slagelse.
Messages of congratulations poured in for the young heir, who will begin his lieutenant’s training this August. As part of his preparation, Christian recently completed the rigorous four-day REX field exercise, a requirement for new recruits.
During the intense training, he and his platoon endured challenging conditions — marching with full packs, surviving on military rations, and operating with minimal sleep. The exercise culminated in a high-pressure simulation of a real-world combat scenario.
As the Danish monarchy continues to evolve, these subtle updates and milestones showcase the next generation of royals stepping into their roles — both in the public eye and behind the scenes.
