Prince Christian of Denmark, who turned 18 on October 15, attended his first Council of State meeting today, November 14, for his Solemn Declaration to abide by the Danish Constitution.
According to the Danish Royal Family's official website, this step/ceremony is necessary as Prince Christian is the future Danish monarch and a possible regent in the event that his grandmother, Queen Margrethe II, and his father, Crown Prince Frederik, cannot perform their stately obligations.

In 1902, Prince Christian (the future Christian X), made his solemn declaration at the meeting of the State Council but it was only his father, Crown Prince Frederik (the future King Frederick VIII) who accompanied him. His grandfather, King Christian IX, did not attend.
However, this is the first time in over 100 years that the Danish throne has two male heirs in direct succession to the throne who are already of legal age to possibly step in as regent. The last similar situation was during the reign of King Christian IX when he had two direct male successors of legal age - his son, Crown Prince Frederik, and his grandson Prince Christian.
