- The 17-year-old is rumoured to be dating Princess Maria Chiara di Borbone
- Royal source says Crown Princess Mary would be delighted
Crown Princess Mary’s eldest son Prince Christian has been spotted looking cosy with his rumoured new royal girlfriend.
The 17-year-old was enjoying a day out with friends at the Monaco Grand Prix and was seen with Princess Maria Chiara di Borbone-Two Sicilies, 18, leaving royal fans swooning.
Speculation on whether the two are dating began when a group photo emerged on social media of the two standing close beside one another at the event.
The Italian heiress is the youngest daughter to Prince Carlo, Duke of Castro, and Princess Camilla, Duchess of Castro. Her parents are also close family friends with Crown Princess Mary, 54, and Crown Price Frederik, 55.
Chiara and her sister Princesses Carolina, 19, are fans of the Grand Prix and keep fans updated on their glamorous lives by sharing photos online.

A Danish source told Woman’s Day: ‘Christian is just four months away from his 18th birthday and he’s interested in having a proper girlfriend, mostly to fend off wannabe fans, but he also likes the idea of having a real companion.’
‘Chiara ticks all the right boxes – she’s funny, intelligent and very well connected via her social media. Of course, Mary would love to see him date someone like Chiara, who, despite seeming to have a jet-set lifestyle, has never had a whiff of scandal, nor has her older sister Carolina.
The source also seemed certain two are dating.
‘Christian is definitely taken with Chiara – it remains to be seen if she feels the same. For now, they get along well, both families approve and they have a lot of similar tastes in music, sports and even film.’
Fans will likely keep a close eye on whether any further images emerge of the two teens together.

Late last month it was reported Princess Mary’s nephew Count Nikolai of Denmark is moving to Australia to go to university, months after being striped of his royal HRH title by his grandmother.
Handsome model Nikolai, 23, will study at UTS in Sydney for a semester, accompanied by his glamorous designer girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup.
The pair live together in Copenhagen and are set to move to Sydney to study from August 1 to November 30.
Nikolai, whose father is Prince Joachim of Denmark, is seventh in line to the Danish throne.
In March, Count Nikolai of Denmark launched a new Instagram account to promote his modelling career after being stripped of his ‘HRH’ status by his grandmother, Queen Margrethe.
It was a tumultuous year for the Danish Royal Family after the monarch controversially took the title from Prince Joachim’s eldest son, as well as also taking the prince and princess titles from his younger children Athena, 11, Prince Felix, 20, and Prince Henrik, 13.

They are now Counts and Countess and referred to as Their Excellencies – and in January this year the Danish Royal Family updated their website to show the new status.
The Queen insisted the move will be ‘good for them in their future’ and allow the children – who have maintained their positions in the line of succession – to ‘shape their own lives without being limited by the special considerations and duties’ that a formal affiliation with the Danish Royal Family involves.
The news of the royal’s arrival in Australia was confirmed to Danish publication B.T. by press advisor Helle von Wildenrath Løvgreen.
B.T. reports the pair are currently looking for a Sydney apartment to live in and both have studied at the Copenhagen Business School and in Paris on exchange.
