Prince Christian of Denmark won’t accept his royal pension from the government when he turns 18 this October, opting to focus on finishing his studies.  The 17-year-old, who is second in line to the Danish throne behind his father Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, will only seek the funding entitled to him on his 18th birthday either when he turns 21 or if there is a "change of throne" before that, the Danish Royal House said in a release on its website and social media.  The teenage prince will also continue to only be involved in official royal duties to a "limited extent," the palace explained, adding that it was in agreement with the Ministry of State that the royal’s "main priority" should be completing his education.  When he turns 21 it’s expected that he’ll join in royal events to a "greater extent," depending on where he is in his education, the royal house said.  Christian’s grandmother is Queen Margrethe II, 83, who has been on the Scandinavian country’s throne for more than 50 years, and he is the oldest of his siblings: Princess Isabella, 15, and Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, 12.  The queen stirred controversy in her own family last year when the Danish Royal House announced in September that the four children of her youngest son Prince Joachim would no longer be called prince or princess but instead count and countess.            View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by DET DANSKE KONGEHUS

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Denmark is the latest European country to push for a levy on streamers’ local turnover to fund local TV and film content. It’s now coming closer to pulling through a bill which could allow for extra subsidies to finance the production of Danish movies, fiction series and documentaries. After failing to receive support with its proposal of a 6% levy in 2022, the government has now drafted a bill for a cultural levy ranging from 2% to 5%, depending on how much streamers have previously invested in Danish content. If passed by the parliament, the bill will apply to global services like Netflix and Amazon, as well as local players such as Viaplay. The proceeds would go the Danish Film Institute and the Public Service Pool on an 80:20 basis.
