With the news that Prince Christian would be starting school in Gentofte, north of Copenhagen, came some issues. The school is so popular that they have previously turned away children who reside in the area.
An additional place was created for Prince Christian by using the logic that he was “moving to the area”, despite having moved to Amalienborg, which is in a different municipality than Gentofte.
In fact, the municipality has registered him as a Gentofte citizen, leading BT to ponder what his new adress might be.
I suggest Bernstorff Castle, just north of the school. Previously home to several Danish royals, it is currently a conference centre within a huge park. The perfect fake home for a 5 year old.
Back to serious now. I think it is nice that Frederik and Mary wants Christian to go to a public school. The problem is that he is getting beneficial treatment in admission over other children who are really living in the area. It should be possible to find a nice public school for him within the borders of Copenhagen and close by Amalienborg. Or, if going outside Copenhagen’s borders, at least one without a waiting list..
