Brief hospitalisation Prince Christian was hospitalised briefly on 21 October 2005 because he suffered from neonatal jaundice, a usually harmless illness and a fairly common one (especially in premature births). The first photographs of the then 3-day-old boy showed a yellow tinge to his face and hands. The prince was examined by doctors and underwent blood tests, then spent time in a light box under special coloured light rays to break down the bilirubin substance which causes jaundice. His parents took him home again the same day and he made a full recovery. is the 294th day of the year (295th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Succession and the constitution As the firstborn child of the heir apparent, Christian is second-in-line to the Danish throne; at the accession of Frederik or his premature death, Christian will become heir apparent. Since the 16th century, first-born sons of Danish monarchs have traditionally been alternately named Frederik and Christian; Queen Margrethe, while naturally interrupting this sequence, treated herself as a "Christian" for the purposes of alternation, coming between one Frederik (her father) and, presumably, another (her son). Prince Christian will likewise presumably be known as "King Christian XI of Denmark" (following his great-great-grandfather Christian X in that name). This is a list of Danish monarchs, that is, the Kings and ruling Queen of Denmark, including Regents of the Kalmar Union. ...

The possibility Mary could be expecting a female child motivated Danish politicians to consider the possibility of gender-neutral succession. Formerly Denmark's throne followed absolute male ("salic") primogeniture; this was altered by the 1953 Act of Succession, which introduced male-preference ("cognatic") primogeniture, which gives daughters a place in the succession, but behind their brothers. This change allowed the present queen (Margrethe) to become heiress-presumptive and eventually inherit the throne. While Crown Princess Mary was still pregnant with Christian, the Folketing began the lengthy process (which would need in the end the approval of two parliaments and a referendum) to change the Danish constitution to allow absolute or equal primogeniture, treating males and females interchangeably. The birth of a boy removed some urgency from this drive, but it remains in motion, having received the first necessary parliamentary approval.[4][5] The King of the Franks, in the midst of the military chiefs who formed his Treuste -- or armed court, dictates the Salic Law (Code of the Barbaric Laws). ...
