King Frederik X Crowned King of Denmark: Ceremony Highlights

Denmark has a ‘proclamation’ ceremony for a new monarch rather than a coronation. But Denmark still enjoyed a day full of pomp and circumstance as Queen Margrethe II handed the reins to King Frederik X. Queen Margrethe II travelled from her residence at the Amalienborg Palace to the Christiansborg Palace. The monarch was escorted by the Guard Hussar Regiment. Thousands of well-wishers filled the streets of Copenhagen. Queen Margrethe’s son Frederik arrived at the palace by car. Once inside Queen Margrethe signed a declaration of abdication, transferring the crown to Frederik. Afterwards, King Frederik X was proclaimed king by the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen from the balcony. The new king was then joined by his Australian wife Queen Mary and his children Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine. The royal family then returned to the Amalienborg Palace, passing by thousands of adoring fans. The King and his family made one last balcony appearance, before retiring into the palace. But Danish royal fans partied on into the evening, enjoying a fireworks display at Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens. The next day King Frederik X and Queen Mary arrived at the Danish parliament for their first official engagement. The former queen Margrethe was also in attendance. “King Frederik X Crowned King of Denmark: Ceremony Highlights“ #royalfamily #royals #denmark Follow us for more royal news, history, and highlights: ♛ Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest Royal videos!) - ♛ Find us on TikTok @royalfamilychannel ♛ Follow us on Facebook - ♛ Tweet with us! -
