The prince is also expected to visit Harvard University, his alma mater, later on Friday. A 1992 Harvard Crimson article detailed the arrival of Prince Frederik onto the Cambridge campus. “Frederik, 24, said he wants to be a “regular student” during his year at Harvard,” the article reads. “Wearing a plaid jacket, blue shirt and dark blue slacks with matching tie, Frederik said he had been able to blend into the landscape during his first two weeks on campus.” The princess will visit Boston Children’s Hospital.
