On April 16, 1940, the Danish royal family welcomed a little princess. She was the first child of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Ingrid at that time. On this day, just one week had passed since their neighboring country, Nazi Germany, invaded Denmark. Crown Princess Ingrid, the daughter of the King of Sweden, was a courageous woman. After giving birth to the princess, she placed her in a baby carriage and pushed her towards the streets of Copenhagen, uplifting the morale of the people. She told everyone that even though darkness had descended, hope remained, and everything would get better. At that time, she did not yet know that the princess in the baby carriage would become the future Queen of Denmark and reign for half a century. This princess, the future queen and the main character of our story today, is Queen Margrethe II.
