A really strong and wise moove of our queen - going against tradition. I am sure Frederick and Mary will do well in their new role as king and queen and prince Christian has shown that he is ready to step up as Crown Prince. Hopefully this will stop the undfounded gossip about Frederick. Good luck to our queen in her retirement and good luck to our new King and Queen.

I recently watched a state visit by the king of Spain to Denmark. I saw Queen Margrethe ambulate (move) with care and a lot of strain on her face. However, I think her health, the advanced years and moving forward without her consort husband has finally taken it's toll. In addition, I suspect the queen had a talk w/ her fellow monarch, King Felipe VI, regarding abdication and his thoughts on assuming the responsibilities. Perhaps, she became convinced among the things previously mentioned, that it was best for her, her son and Denmark for her to step aside to allow a more active younger, virile person to assume the duties of head of state. In addition, I think Queen Margrethe did not want her son to succeed to the throne when he was in his 70's, i.e., most people's retirement. Furthermore, I don't think Queen Margrethe will fade away. She still can contribute to Denmark acting as regent as her mother, Queen Ingrid, did when she was away from Denmark. Queen Ingrid was helpful to her daughter for most of her remaining years and I'm sure Margrethe will contribute to King Frederik's reign in every way possible. Gud bevare Danmark!

I will miss Queen Margethe of Denmark. She has been a fantastic Queen. I wish her all the very best in the future. I look forward to the new reign of King Fredrick and Queen Mary. They will do a fantastic job. I’ve always loved them. Good luck Crown Prince Fredrick and Crown Princess Mary. I wish you guys all the very best.

I can only hope that all is as well as can be with Queen Margrethe II and wish her a restful retirement from royal life.

Wow...although I think this is the right decision, it does not make it any less of a shock and surprise. However, now there will be a transition that is not full of grief and sorrow. She can enjoy a well-earned and well-deserved rest and relax enjoying spending more time with her hobbies and passions. She can also be there to watch her son become King and be a source of support and advice for him, Mary and Christian as they embark on their new rolls. She has served as monarch for 52 years and made her indelible mark on the monarchy and DRF and not it is time to pass the baton and give the new generation a chance to do the same. So, congratulations to Daisy on doing this in her way, on her terms and in her time. And now, a new chapter for Denmark begins with King Frederik and Queen Mary. They will do an amazing job...they are ready, prepared and in their prime to take up the mantle of the monarchy and DRF and move it forward. Daisy has repeatedly stated that she is confident in her son and DIL to be an amazing royal couple. She obviously knows that better than anyone else. Happy New Year to everyone!

I don't mean this in a depressing way at all, but it will be nice in her aging widowhood to be able to spend more private time with her now two widowed sisters with whom she is close. She has served well. Frederik still has her as a counselor on issues. I was not sure when her husband died, still unhappy with his title, and then, when she changed the make-up of the monarchy by eliminating members of what the Brits would call the "working royals" team, I thought hmm. Make big changes before departing the immediate scene, so that Frederik doesn't have that on his plate, as his burden and it's more in line with what the UK is doing. If the world survives the next 20 years or so, there will be quite a few queens/female sovereigns to replace the void she leaves.
