King Frederik X proclaimed by prime minister on palace balcony

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has proclaimed Frederik the new King of Denmark.
Ms Frederiksen proclaimed the King three times from the balacony at Christiansborg Palace.
It comes after Queen Margarethe abdicated the throne on New Year’s Eve.
On the first day of their reign, Mary and Frederik and the entire royal family will participate in the Danish Parliament’s formal celebration of the succession of the throne.
The new King and Queen will also be marked spiritually in a celebratory church service at Aarhus Cathedral on Sunday.

This is a display of power over the masses, much like in Russia and contemporary and former dictatorship(s) like North Korea. There are many more people than those in the streets of Copenhagen who do not want any continuation of this “royal” charade. AND there were demonstrations against the monarchy of course not recorded, why? . Danish society, government and media behave in a more and more obvious way like a dictatorship - we are not a free nation. All criticism and rational thinking is shut down and hidden away. This is not a day of celebration, but many who do not live in Denmark are mesmerized and hypnotized and have no idea about the reality most Danes face right now. Let these overprivileged familiy pay for themselves and you will see what it will happen. Hierarchies, elitism with monarchies, kings, queens, princes and prinsesses who are born and/or married info immense priviledges with servants for every of their needs and always supported by the people. Who are they? Why support the privileged and why are we not allowed to ask questions? Because they also want political power? Danish politicians like the party and the politician who shoumd defend democracy in Danmark has not so hidden agendas being in the pocket of the monarchy like the rest of Danish politicians. The time has come to end narcissistic and egoistic mentalities. The time for monarchies and their non relevant churches who brainwash citizens of so many countries to worship the few rather than respecting the many is over or will very soon be. Contemporary generations do not want figurants with their dresses, tiaras, costumes, expensive galas, pride and lack of basic gratitude, compassion and humility. This king needs to abdicate before there is a revolution in Danmark. The common whealth countries are already ready. Margrete know this. Among other reasons she needed to abdicate fast. Exuperts claim that by 2030 the monarchies around the World will be voted out by the many who are not seen in the streets of Copenhagen.

Greetings from Poland! May God bless and keep Frederik and Mary and their family as they embark on this new chapter in their lives and in the life of their country. One thing I am a bit surprised about is that as far as I can tell, no one has breathed a word about the fact that for the first time in the history of Denmark, the accession proclamation was made by a woman. I guess it's just so normal for them to have a woman prime minister that no one even noticed?

[@MachivelianBear]

Well the our PM Mette Frederiksen is quite unpopular at the moment. Her proclaiming him King is just seen as procedure and has no political ramifications here in Denmark.

[@orionrodi]

Infact our PM Mette Frederiksen, is the second female PM.

[@karinborup1162]

The rules has been for the last 3-4 times, when a monark dies, the prime minister , talks for the new one on the balcon. Our prime minister for the last several years are Mette Frederiksen, which is Leader of the socialdemocracy party, which has been the biggest in al my lifetime. The last year, she has been Leader of a three party coalition, which are loosing voters all three. So she is not more unpopulare, than the other leaders. Just a minor correction.

[@caraboska]

@@orionrodi Right, but that first female PM appeared after rather than before Margrethe II's accession, right? So she wouldn't have announced Margrethe's accession.

[@caraboska]

@@karinborup1162 Right. What I'm thinking, though, is that there weren't any female PM's before Margrethe's accession, so her accession (and that of her predecessors whose accessions were announced by the PM) would have been announced by a man. Is that correct?

Here is the whole speech from the Prime Minister of Denmark and King Frederik X of Denmark follows: Today, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II has abdicated. On behalf of the kingdom, I would like to give Queen Margrethe a heartfelt and devoted thank you. - Thank you for lifting the legacy, duty and responsibility. Thank you for connecting us to the past and preparing us for the future. Thank you for making an effort and more. - Each queen and king is part of a more than 1,000-year-old chain - when one steps back, the next is ready. The crown prince who will now be our regent is a king we know, a king we care about and a king we trust, Fredriksen said to great cheers from the people - Today we greet Denmark's new head of state and wish him luck in his life and work. According to Danish state customs, I shall exclaim three times: Her Majesty Queen Margrethe 2nd has abdicated, long live His Majesty King Frederik 10th! King Frederik X of Denmark's speech: My mother Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II has ruled Denmark for 52 years. She will always be remembered as a regent beyond the ordinary. - Like few, my mother has become one with her kingdom. Today, the throne passes on. My hope is to become a gathering king. - It is a task I have approached all my life, it is a responsibility I take on with respect, pride and great joy with the support I can get from my beloved wife, from my family and from you and from something that is bigger than us. - Confederate, committed to the Kingdom of Denmark.

"Making yourself uncomfortable." I would have translated it "making an effort", though it is a bit too weak. Going out of your way. Taking extra care. It is a reference to an interview, where HM was asked what she wanted to be remembered for. "For making an effort", she answered.

What a beautiful and simplistic ceremony. Unlike the British Coronation for their King’s and Queen’s, Denmark doesn’t practice that ritual anymore. Since 1849 when the Kingdom became a constitutional monarchy it’s the Prime Minister who has the honor of formally proclaiming the new King. They will stand at the balcony of Christiansborg Palace and, in the case of the new King, say three times turning in each direction (mimicking the compass) Queen Margrethe II has abdicated…Long Live His Majesty King Fredrik X! And then lead the masses in a nine fold hurrah. The new monarch then delivers their maiden address and unveils their royal motto. And Denmark does have a crown and other regalia but that’s kept in museums. Only on the death of a King or Queen are the Crown Jewels put on public display near or on top the casket.
