It's always assumed that when it comes to education, future kings and queens receive nothing but the very best at the most exclusive institutions available to them. But the Danish royal family have been rocked by the revelation that the prestigious Herlufsholm School, where Prince Christian is in high school, is at the centre of devastating bullying and abuse claims.
A Danish insider tells Woman's Day that Princess Mary is so horrified at the allegations she's considering pulling her son from the exclusive boarding school and cancelling plans to send his younger sister, Isabella, 15, there in September as had been organised.
"Mary has said that antibullying is something she cares deeply about and it's heartbreaking for her," reveals the royal source.
"She will speak to her children and take it extremely seriously."
Earlier this month the documentary Herlufsholm's Secrets caused shock across Denmark when it alleged the school had a culture of bullying and violence, with 50 former students presenting their experiences.
