- King Frederik X has taken the throne, following the formal abdication of his mother, Queen Margrethe II.
Margrethe II has just signed the instrument of abdication, passing the crown to her son.
There will be no formal crowning ceremony for Crown Prince Frederik.
He will become King of Denmark and head of state in the country as well as in Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
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.
It was lovely to see Christian handling his grandmother her walking stick rather than an aide doing it. And he kept glancing at her as she kept standing while he sat down.He showed concern for her , that was good to see
The beautiful queen Mary has done an amazing job with her children and Christian has a caring heart by nature
Yes, he didn't want to sit down in her presence (just as the other people in the room remained standing).
Noted that as well both Christian and Fredrick keept their eyes on her and was very vigilant towords her and she had the look of pride in her when she looked at both of them and she knows they more then ready and worthy not to mention she be there for them when needed
The grandson is watching the queens face when she goes to leave the room and flashes the quickest frown of sadness when he notices her get emotional. Very sweet.
@@stopchildabuse7932- In Denmark, the fathers also take care of the children. King Frederik 10 has always been there for his kids - just like Queen Mary!
She said "god save the king" when she exited. Class. Sheer class....
She said "God, how stupid are the hoi polloi to accept yet another unelected nincompoop grifter as their head of state". Crass, pure crass.
Technically she said 'God preserve the King'🙂
Yes, a difference, but how? @@Kille483
It’s her son lol
She looked quite emotional when she turned to go. Don't blame her a bit. Big day for that family.
It was sort of sad when queen Margarethe stepped out of the room, what a gracious lady
On the contrary, I wonder if she breathed a sigh of relief behind the doors as she left?
If you look closely I she seems to be crying silently.
She was clearly touched. You can see her watching closely as he sits down.
Best wishes from Pennsylvania! I got emotional watching the Queen give her seat to the new King. That was powerful and the Queen did it with such elegance and grace. God bless her!
Aww...it looked like she started crying when her son finally took the royal seat just before she left the room. I'm sure she is a very proud mum. 💕
I have had a fondness for Denmark and the Danish people from the time I began learning about Danish counted cross-stitch in the 1970s. I carried that interest forward in the 1980s when I wrote about the Danelaw in English legal history for one of my law school classes.
I believe there's a possbility that the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 caused her cousin Queen Margrethe II to decide that she'd take a different path and not reign unto death. I hope that she has many more years in which to advise her son King Frederik X and her grandson Crown Prince Christian. Blessings to the Danish Royal Family and the Danish people on this new day.
Very touching to be seeing her turn around and leave through the door !!!!!
Just before turning around she said "God save the King".
Of course nobody heard it because of the chattering in the studio.
Our dear Daisy left that room the way she ruled - with empathy, grace, and the kind of class you cannot buy with money. I have no doubt Frederik is cut from the same cloth, but she's going to be one tough act to follow. History will remember Her Majesty as fondly as we, her People, will.
God bless the Queen! Long live the new King and Queen!
Tough act to follow? He is a king with no power, how could he possibly mess up. It's not like he has to rule the country.
@@djc836 it's easy to mess up. Just look at Juan Carlos in Spain before he abdicated and Carl Gustav of Sweden. Both have made some pretty big headlines for personal issues that has soured the monarchy.
@@djc836 He actually does have power. Daisy used it once - in 1992, when the prime minister had to step down after a scandal. He had already transferred the power to another politician, but the palace said no and demanded palace consultations. It ended up with the leader of the opposition taking the seat of the PM.
As for the king - well, he has no power. Now. But in case of an occupation, which becomes more and more likely, he will be a key figure..
Really like the simplicity of the transfer. Congratulations to the new King and Queen of Denmark from Michigan, USA. God bless and keep them safe. Long live the King and Queen!
And the simplicity made the ceremoni more sincere
thanks. it was a massive thing here. also because it hasnt happened in more than 900 years ago. truly mindblowing. this will go down in the history books. such a beautiful event. i watched it all day. god bless the new king and queen and god bless the kingdom of Denmark, Faroe Islands and Greenland.
Congratulations Denmark 🇩🇰
All the way from the Philippines 🇵🇭
A lovely new crownprince who has a heart for his grandmother
Like Frederik had for his grandmother. While Queen Ingrid lived, Frederik was always the one escorting her to the big events. I think we'll see a bit of history repeating.
I believe she also chose to see her beloved son in that position before her last day on earth. She will still receive a honorable parade on her passing and she was there to appreciate the joy of passing it to her son.
I see nothing wrong with abdication. It allows the accession of the new Sovereign to be a happy event and the retired Sovereign can enjoy some peace after years of service.
Wishing King Frederik X and his lovely wife Queen Mary of Denmark 🇩🇰 a long and happy reign on this very special day .
We the Danes are so proud of our new king and our Tasmanian queen, please know that.
😡
Us Scot’s love your King & Queen too! Your new Queen has a lot of Scottish blood! God bless King Frederick & Queen Mary! God bless Denmark! 🇩🇰
I live in the US and feel honoured to have witnessed history for a second time in recent months. One of the things I admire most about your Queen is how she did her duty with that beautiful smile always on display.
@@kimma508You know there are other monarchies right. Spain, the Netherlands and Belgium all got new kings & queens in recent years. You could have paid attention to that if you're so keen on witnessing history.
@@djc836 I know there are other monarchies. I did watch King Charles coronation and I’m just saying it’s interesting to witness history in general. I watched Spain change monarchs along with the Netherlands.
Thank you sky news. I stayed up and watched it. Thanks they were emotional. , and very genuine. ❤❤🇦🇺👍🥳👋🎊🕊
Congratulations King Frederick and Queen Mary!. god bless you both and your children!
I think the new crown prince got worried about his Farmor when she left the room, nice to know he has a heart !!
She was waiting until Christian came of age. He turned 18, and then the announcement came from the Queen.
Perfect timing!
Also, at age 50-ish her son
Frederick will have several
years of vigorous service
to the country; giving Prince
Christian the time to marry
settle down and have a
family before he steps up
to reign.
Yea they have everything perfectly planned out for the future! Smooth sailing from here on out.
@@adamhuffman3354
For the sake of the people of Denmark,
I hope it is smooth sailing.
Nope. Had nothing to do with her abdicating that young Christian turned 18. She’s always, as any of our Monarchs in over 1000 years, said she would sit until her death. It’s her health, she’s in a lot of pain, and only therefore decided to break the 1000 year long tradition.
@@gitte5781
I think that she made a wise decision.
Putting the abdication off until after
Prince Christian's 18th birthday (rather
than before ... give or take a few months)
was a good idea.
He has big shoes to fill! A real class act!
Great moments for them! BLESSINGS! Congratulations to the New King and Queen. Wishing the ABDICATING Queen a good & healthy retirement.🙏✌️❤️ Always!
Congratulations Denmark on your new king from the 🇬🇧
She is an artist beyond being a beautiful Queen. Sophisticated, elegant and absolutely down to earth! I hope she gain her health after the surgery 💕
Hello
I had the honour of meeting Her Majesty. A great, elegant and intelligent lady. May she enjoy retirement.
The Danes are seeing raw history happening before their eyes.
In 1972 my own father was still in highschool.
I wish the Danish monarch her majesty Queen Margarthe II a happy life after her abdication and wish her son and successor his majesty King Frederick X, a very happy reign.
From Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬.
A remarkable queen ❤
Long live the Queen
Really lovely to see so many people attending the occasion.
С Божьей Помощью, В Надежных Руках, С Благодарностью, Воодушевлением и Любовью Народа!!!
На мой взгляд это Наивысшее Проявление Демократии и Свободы!!!
🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇩🇰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗
God bless Queen Margrethe II such a great servant of the people. Hope her retirement gives her lots of happiness and rest - long live the King!
Королева Дании приняла самое правильное. Она думает о стране в первую очередь. Настоящая Королева.
A monarch should not abdicate
@@tristankramer4636 , says who? Her back aches! Why not? We like it. She did a perfect thing. We love her.
We already miss the Queen😢
GOD BLESS King and Queen 👑
Gud bevare Dronning Margrethe II!!!! Fine dronning og dame!!!!❤🇩🇰👑
Vi vil aldrig glemme hendes indsats for vores land 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
@@danishcommander4dk ja rigtig meget.🇩🇰
QEII was europe's longest serving monarch...you missed out word 'living'😬😊
No, she was the longest british, and for a time the longest living, and she's europes longest reigning queen. But longest reigning monarch was Louis XIV of France.
Louis the Sun King has that honor actually
If only QE2 just made way for Charles earlier, she could have reached 100 yrs old. No one would have blamed her.
@@uncommon_name9337 possibly, but she kept promises and she promised to serve her country for her entité life
@@mooseymcflurffycat3018 correct! M'y neighbours will lynch me being patriote😧😂
Her son is feeling the weight with every movement of her hand. He has huge shoes to fill. What a woman!
What a dutiful grandson, getting the cane for his Nana ... Prince Christian is growing into such a wonderful man
Really wished you didnt talk over the whole signing😢
Queen Mary is beautiful lady ❤
Además una mujer muy inteligente con estudio,muy buena esposa ,buena madre querida y aceptada por Dinamarca.
Congratulations to the new King and Queen.
Love from me

Thank You for 52 amazing years.
It’s nice to see the great great great grandson of Queen Victoria become King of Denmark.
He's not.
The royal line goes in descending order
Fredrik 10 - > Margrethe 2 - > Frederik 9 - > Christian 10 - > Frederik 8 - > Christian 9.
Christian the 9th had a daughter Alexandra, who became queen of England.
So Frederik 10 is related to the English monarchs but only very distantly.
Congratulations to Denmark ❤
That was lovely! The jobs yours son. 👑 Thanks mum. 💜
I just discovered Queen Margrete this year and now she's leaving!! She is so lovely! I will miss her as Queen. I hope she'll have a lovely retirement. Best wishes from California, USA
Like Sipsey said, "A lady knows when its time to go".
The Queen Margrethes word as she left the room after she pointed the new king to take the chair at the council of state. Deeply moving : God Save The King.
Så fin en dag. 😊
Now we have crown prince Christian of Denmark as well!
Hard to pronounce.
@@Celisar1 Well, hardly ANY "anglos" EVER pronounce the name of Queen Margrethe or King Frederik correctly!! Somehow I believe, they will be able to pronounce the name "Christian" closer to correct!?!! Although I do know enough about linguistics to know, that they will not get the very first part of it fully correct ( for a Danish ear to hear!!).
So sad
I really believe she was crying when she left the room
Suddenly Australians love royalty 🤣
True! First Australian queen in history 🇩🇰😀
@@fasiistyrer ...Queen CONSORT, not Queen. There is a difference.
Royal Family Good Great 🙏🇱🇰🌷🌟🥇🌷
Royal Family My Hero 🧡💙🖤💛💜❤
I find it odd Queen Margaret s son did not even bow to her when the door was opened and she left with no sign of recognition from the new King. Sad....
I am sure that he had enough going on in his head at such a monumental moment in his life without the need for every single action being gone through and criticised .
Relax, think positively and kindly,….give him a break !
Aren’t they blessed to not have attention seekers or social climbers within their ranks.
What a blessing and a true show of Royals who deserve to be royals
no snow... beautiful-- also, what a cold transfer.... the queen left just like that..
From us Danes in New Zealand. God save the King.
Hvad laver I dernede?
Congratulations for King & Queen Consort of Denmark and also Queen Mother
It is NOT Queen Consort - it is just Queen Mary (Elizabeth)
God bless their majesties!
I've always been in favour of monarchs performing their roles until they die but in this case, she totally did the right thing. She didn't "abdicate" (she was ill and tired). In my view this was an honourable and well earned retirement. I'm so glad she was able to keep her title. She has been a huge inspiration (not just to Denmark but to the world) and I for one am very sorry to see her go BUT totally respect and admire her wise decision.
God bless you mam a job realy well done
Uh she cried❤
Am very happy❤❤❤❤❤
Королеаа поступила правилтно: возможно уходом погасила несколько скандалов, не позволила разрушиться семье, будет заботиться о своем здоровье
Gud Bevare Danmark ❤️🇩🇰
OMG the look on her face. Broke my heart.
Our Queen og Denmark Queen Margrete was in tears when she left❤❤❤❤
2:20 “Thank You”.Goodbye. That was the moment. I don’t think that has ever been caught on camera, a sovereign, literally moving on.
God preserve the king! Class!
Danmark 🇩🇰💕
2.22 - 2.23 - тронуло... До слёз...
❤❤❤
God bless Denmark. ❤🙏
Bravo 👏🏻 amazing decision
Congrats Denmark 🇩🇰 #proudAussie
Wow nice
She did well
Class👑
Congratulations
Girls. The Queen handed over the reign not the reins
⚜️
Actually reins is correct usage if talking about handing something over, as in reins of power. The new King's reign started today.
Not in Royalty
I wish there was a big coronation. I'd love to see them all in traditional dress and crowns. See the history.
denmark has a king now,long live king frederik the 10
Long time ago I had a pen pal friend, he looked like Brian Jones, The Rolling Stone.
Maybe he is there.
Hallo Eric Jansen,
Greetings from Brazil
Мне понравилась премьер в роли гарольда 😊. Крутая женщина!
Que traduzcan en Español ,porque no e entiende nada
i went to a university in the US, and this is just horrible. when they say that Belarus is the last dictatorship in Europe they clearly lie. in my Republic we have many more freedoms and rights, and we are doing way better. i know what i talk about because i am very good in academia
OMG! yes! this! I've been saying it for years!!!
omg these reporters are so pedestrian
Hello
Kindly repeat that in ENGLISH, Miss.☝️
Incidentally, Slave, are you VEGAN? 🌱
We all love Mary in Denmark
La reine semblait terriblement émue lorsqu'elle a quitté la salle du Conseil d’État.
Que debe haber sentido Margarita cuando se retira del salon dejando a su heredero a cargo de su pais, ella abdico por el desliz de Federico para que su pueblo crea en la monarquía, porque convengamos Federico nunca quiso ser rey...y ahora lo,pone ante esa situación su madre, antes que el pueblo siga enojandose con el ya que aman a Mary... Sera ella la que lleve las riendas. Ya veran
Who is queen Margaretha?
Queen Alexandra was from Denmark!😮
Really? Way, nobody knew! 😂😂😂
I love the Denmark RF. A modest clan. Mary is my fave EUR royal. Unlike Me-gain Ragland, Mary never plotted to marry a prince or to defraud the world and the line of succession by fake moonbump pregnancies. She never chased $$$ or fame. She is not a serial liar or embezzler. She is a genuinely decent human being who demonstrates respect for families, elders, and the Queen. Her speeches are poetic and lyrical. Her unrivaled curtsies are legendary. Mary is not only a crown jewel in and of herself - she is Denmark’s secret weapon. Charles needs to follow the wise example of Margarethe and remove titles or abdicate so that William can remove titles of the Toxic Treasonous Twosome.
How long before someone says, the Royal family of Denmark are so white.
By the way, Queen Margareta wasn't the longest serving queen of Europe, Queen Elizabeth II was.
They meant longest serving living monarch which she became following the death of queen Elizabet II.
Looks like you’re the first 😂
Look at that head.
Ati vazut cum a plecat Regina Margareta, plangad, e clar ca a fost fortata sa abdice, altfel ramanea pe tron, probabil vom intelege mai incolo ce a fost in spatele acestei schimbari .
The new king and queen look younger than they actually are, both are so very good looking. Not that it's important, but still.
50 and 55 - and they look it.
❤❤❤️One true God Almighty the creator of the universe came as a human and died on the cross for your sins and rose again. You can have eternal life in Jesus. Raise to live with him in a glorious body in heaven. JESUS CHRIST is coming soon. We are in the end times. Believe in Jesus. If you seek God with sincere Heart you will find Jesus.
Romans 10:13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST will be saved. Hey
Why did she leave the room before her son signed the papers?
Hi @mb5612
Actually, she didn't. Her signing the papers was it! He automatically became king, once she signed her abdication statement. He basically had no say in this. If he really did not want to be the king, he would have to actively sign his own abdication statement.
Once the Queen had left the room, the King presided his first government consultation as a monarch. She, not being a monarch anylonger, was formally required to leave the room.
@@syvogtresmakes me quite sad to read that. Hope her son will be a good King
@@syvogtres Thank you for explaining that. Makes sense to me now.
Is Mary becoming queen,or is it only Australia that says it? No other channels mention her as "queen".......
Yes she's becoming Queen of Denmark
Queen Consort, because she's married to a King.
She is Queen-consort, but queens-consorts (wives) are called "queens", while husbands are always only called "princes". She is not reigning but is there together with her husband. If he dies before her, this son, Christian, will be King, and she will be Queen-mother.
HRM Margrette 2 is still the Queen.
REMOVE THE KING OF THAILAND.
FREEDOM AND HUMAN RIGHTS. END CORRUPTION AND CRIMES.
I wonder if the Queen traded her crown for her son staying with his wife and dropping the tawdry affairs.
Queen Margrethe didn't abdicate to "save her son's marriage." That's just stupid. How would her abdicating save his marriage? Oh, Mary demanded to become queen or she'd divorce Frederik? Mary is in no position to demand anything. Mary gets her royal status from Frederik. Without him, she'd still be plain old Mary Donaldson. Constitutionally, she's irrelevant. Frederik would ascend the throne with or without her.
