The caption read: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turns 19 today.
"The Crown Prince is currently staying in East Africa and is therefore celebrating the day under warmer skies."

Christian is expected to follow in his father's footsteps and undergo military training at some stage.
King Frederik and Queen Mary are also parents to Princess Isabella, 17, and 13-year-old twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.
