AFTER QUEEN MARGRETHE'S SHOCK ABDICATION KING FREDERIK AND QUEEN MARY SEAL THEIR NEW ROLES WITH A KISS AS HE IS FORMALLY NAMED DENMARK'S MONARCH
HELLO! UK|January 29, 2024
Cheers filled the air as Denmark’s King Frederik X and Queen Mary waved to well-wishers from the balcony of Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen for the first time in their new roles.
AFTER QUEEN MARGRETHE'S SHOCK ABDICATION KING FREDERIK AND QUEEN MARY SEAL THEIR NEW ROLES WITH A KISS AS HE IS FORMALLY NAMED DENMARK'S MONARCH

It was clearly an emotional moment, with the monarch blinking back tears before sharing a tender kiss with his wife.

Smiling proudly as they stood side by side, with Frederik wearing his full-dress navy uniform and Mary regal in a white dress designed by Soeren Le Schmidt and sewn by Birgit Hallstein, the couple evoked memories of their wedding day almost 20 years ago.

However, this time they were with their children: Crown Prince Christian, 18, Princess Isabella, 16 and 13-year-old twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.

The new King and Queen greet a throng of well-wishers in Copenhagen after their accession - and seal the moment with a kiss (above). "Mary took the initiative," says royal reporter Wim Dehandschutteer

A ‘REAL STAR’ 

“The balcony scene was very moving,” Belgian royal reporter Wim Dehandschut teer, who was reporting from the palace, tells hello!. “People were very enthusiastic when Frederik entered the balcony, but it was insane when Queen Mary joined him.

“I always knew that she was probably the most popular member of the royal family, but it was then that I realised she was the real star of the Danish monarchy.

“And, of course, when they kissed, everybody went crazy. It was spontaneous. They didn’t plan it. Mary took the initiative when people were shouting for them to kiss.”
