His grandmother, Queen Margaret of Denmark, recently celebrated her 84th birthday earlier this week on April 16.
The Palace also shared photos of the Queen in a stunning lilac dress alongside her beloved dachshund, Tilia, who used to belong to her late husband Prince Henrik.
The photographs were taken at Fredensborg Castle, the same place where the Danish royal family celebrated their birthday privately.
The royal residence is a setting that is only used for important family events such as weddings, silver weddings and birthdays.

The second snapshot shows the former monarch walking across the monochromatic tiled floor of Fredensborg Castle, alongside her dachshund Tilia.
Fans rushed to the comments to wish the Princess a happy birthday and comment on the beautiful pictures the family shared.
The former monarch had a tumultuous couple of months when she shocked the nation with the announcement of her abdication during her live New Year’s Eve television segment.
Just 14 days later, Margaret, who ruled for 52 years, renounced the throne at a meeting of the Council of State and her son, Frederick, was crowned king of Denmark.
He said one of the reasons he decided to renounce the throne was because of his health problems, adding that he underwent back surgery in February 2023.
She said: ‘Everything went well, thanks to the trained healthcare staff who looked after me. Of course, the operation also made us think about the future: whether it was time to hand over responsibility to the next generation.’
It has been agreed that she will continue to be known as Her Majesty Queen Margaret and will be able to serve as regent if King Frederick, Queen Mary and Crown Prince Christian are abroad, ill or on holiday.
