A teacher shall be provided to her, at the expense of the Danish Crown, to help her learn the language and culture of the kingdom she will help rule. To present this proposal in place of His Majesty King Hans, the Royal Chancellor of the Kingdom has come in person, bringing with him a recent painting of Prince-Elect Christian, so that the court may look upon him, as well as the proposed tutor for the Princess.
