Prince Christian of Denmark rescued from surf by Australian lifeguard

The second in line to the throne of Denmark was rescued from the surf by a lifeguard while holidaying in Australia's Gold Coast on Thursday (December 17), the Seven Network reported.
Gold Coast lifeguard Nick Malcolm was on patrol when he saw a boy caught in a rip and jumped on his paddle board. He picked up the Prince and gave him a ride back to shore, Australian media reported.
The boy was Prince Christian, 10, the eldest son of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and his Australian wife, Crown Princess Mary.
Malcolm's colleagues described him as humble and not making a big deal about rescuing a Prince.
"He's probably one of the best paddle boarders in the world at the moment," said retired lifeguard, Greg Crisp.
"He doesn't big note or anything, he just gets on with the job," Crisp added.
The Australian media said that Malcolm was unaware of the young prince's identitiy when he paddled out to save him.
They reported that Prince Frederick personallly thanked Malcolm for rescuing his son. — Reuters
