it's beautiful: Mary of Denmark and Frederik no longer hide what's going on with their son Vicente

Each stage in a family's life leaves marks that, over time, become memories of each stage of life. In royal households, those moments usually carry even greater importance, because they also speak of the future and legacy. Whether the moments are positive or negative, they shape the history of a royal family.

Among Europe's monarchies, there are names that resonate with respect for many and controversies and scandals from the media. Frederik and Mary of Denmark hold a place in European monarchies that doesn't go unnoticed. Now, one of their children, Vincent, is capturing the media spotlight.

Portraits that mark a new beginning

The Danish Royal House presented, a couple of weeks ago, the new official portraits of Vincent and Josephine. The images of Denmark's twins reflect elegance, confidence, maturity, and style. This is the first time they've posed like this since their father Frederik's proclamation as king.

Josephine appears with a youthful and refined air, dressed in soft tones that evoke her mother's style. Vincent, with a navy blue jacket and a calm smile, projects confidence and charisma. Both are no longer children; they've grown up and are teenagers embracing their moment.

Vincent and his sister are third and fourth in the line of succession to the throne. Their new visibility also represents a gesture of trust from the monarchy. It's a way to acknowledge their development and their increasingly present role.

Personality, energy, and vocation

Vincent has surprised with his energy and determination in sports; he participated in the Royal Race. He crossed the finish line before his older brother and his father and completed the 6.2 mi. (10 kilometers) in just 47 minutes. His sister, meanwhile, has shown a very marked artistic profile, participating in a Danish television series and making her theater debut with Peter Pan.

Both combine normalcy and responsibility naturally. They share everyday moments with family and participate in public events with ease. They're an example of how one can grow up with freedom within royalty.

Kings Frederik and Mary speak from experience as parents. "Listening helps a lot: hugging instead of acting immediately," Frederik reflected about parenting. They respect each child's timing and value their differences; Vincent and Josephine move forward with determination, guided by their parents' example and bringing freshness to the royal family.
