Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary's son, Prince Christian, passed a significant new milestone on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old royal made a solemn declaration to abide by the Constitution at the Council of State meeting.
The State Council is the body in the state government where all laws and important government measures are dealt with.
Wearing a navy suit and a patterned tie, Christian's big moment was witnessed by his father, Crown Prince Frederik and his grandmother, Queen Margrethe.
It also means that Prince Christian can act as regent if Queen Margrethe is ill or out of the country.
The declaration also marked the first time that three generations were present in the Council of State at the same time.
Queen Margrethe, 83, has reigned for over 51 years, while Crown Prince Frederik, 55, is her heir.

Prince Christian celebrated his 18th birthday on 15 October, with Queen Margrethe throwing her grandson a lavish gala dinner at Christiansborg Palace.
