Queen Margrethe leaves Amalienborg for the proclamation of King Frederik

Queen Margrethe has left her royal residence at the Amalienborg Palace surrounded by security as she heads towards Christiansborg Palace for the proclamation of King Frederik.
Princess Mary's husband Prince Frederik will be made King, following on from the abdication of his mother Queen Margrethe.
Margrethe, 83, announced her surprise abdication on New Year’s Eve after more than half a century on the throne, paving the way for Mary to become the first Australian-born Queen.
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.

What a wonderful Queen she was too. Always with a smile and totally devoted to the Danish people, a real trooper👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@mochtegerndane7097]

Fun fact - many of the Hussars riding here were conscripts, who had finished their service one week before this day. For, what may surely be, on of the first time in history, you had conscript soldiers actually begging to have their time extended, so they could be part of this special day.

As a Dane, I’m glad we have a new king and queen, but I will never forget what our dear queen Margrethe 2’ did for our country. She is beloved, and rightfully so

[@franzitaduz]

So sad that her beloved husband couldn’t be healthy and there with her. It’s good to let her son take his place while she‘s still there to support him, and her grandson as Prince. God bless this family and Denmark.

Every country that has a royal family has their own procedures for this sort of thing, you really can’t compare them against each other. The women commentating this event are so annoying. It would be a lot better if they weren’t talking so much. They should also not be talking about vicious rumours on such an eventful day, hearing that it was in poor taste and inappropriate. Hopefully they will get their act together.

She will simply be styled as just “HM Queen Margarethe”, instead of just “HM the Queen.” You’ll also notice that Queen Margrethe will no longer keep her regnal number, as that is only reserved for the reigning monarch.

@@coles5243 Margrethe is not the mother of the Queen!!!! So that would be an utterly silly thing to call her. The one called that over in The UK actually WAS there mother of THEIR Queen . So that made sense. But obviously not for Margrethe!! Dronning Ingrid, the mother of Margrethe was always only going by Dronning Ingrid. Until she died in 2.000. No "consort", "mother" or "widow" added to the Queen Title here in Danmark! Ingrid was known to not want to be called any of that!

@jdpatrick1106 I think it lost something in the translation 😄 Remember that more Europeans smoke per capita than in some other regions. Smoking has obviously been either Queen Margrethe's pleasure, addiction or both. And she hasn't hid her habit, unlike some high profile smokers. There's also the matter of fitting into your formal gowns and not looking like an overfed, podgy Queen. Smoking can help curtail appetite for some smokers.

I somewhat agree. So long as you are well enough, and she is well enough right now, your life is to serve. If you accept the crown and all the prestige and wealth associated (something you possess through birthright ) an exceptional sacrifice must be made. It is incredibly difficult to justify royalty without the sacrifice or weight of the crown.

Bad faith actors are so easy to spot. The UK’s Monarchy is different to the Danish, just like how every other monarchy has different customs and traditions. THATS the whole point! To show WHO you are. Countries aren’t just lines on a map, they have things they stand for and customs they practice. Royals are fine all over the world, they’re no different than funding put aside for a national museum.
