The picture appears to have been taken on their older brother  Prince Christian’s 18th birthday back in October. Vincent and Josephine are currently fourth and fifth in line to the Danish throne, though that will change this weekend. The siblings’ father will become King on Sunday, Jan. 14.

Frederik’s mother  Queen Margrethe II announced on New Year’s Eve that she will be abdicating in favor of her firstborn. “I have decided that now is the right time,” the Danish monarch said. “On 14th January, 2024 – 52 years after I succeeded my beloved father – I will step down as Queen of Denmark. I will hand over the throne to my son Crown Prince Frederik.”

Her Majesty will sign a declaration of her abdication during a Council of State meeting at Christiansborg Castle on Sunday. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary will leave Christiansborg Castle as King Frederik X and Queen Mary, while their eldest child, Prince Christian, will depart the castle as the Crown Prince.
