ja nemlig ja!

Wonderful. You're doing a great job. ❤

I was in Copenhagen one time beautiful and peaceful with lovely Monarchy.

Perhaps I should add that the Danish frogmen are an extreme version of the US Navy Seals, one of the thing they are trained to do, other than extreme diving missions, is to jump from one airplane to the next in a rescue mission in open air, in case of a terror attack.

Thankyou for sharing that, am really glad to know it. Am sure life will settle down for him now. It must be so hard to constantly prepare yourself for a job & a role that never quite comes..they'll be a great royal family & role models. It was a wise Queen that abdicated...

@@agffans5725 and been on patrole on snowsled on North Greenland

@@MichaelHedegaardJensen .. So very true.

...and since yesterday King Frederik X is also a four star general in the Danish Army as well as a four star admiral in the Danish Navy, even though he has done absolutely nothing to obtain that military rank.

Yes, typical of CNN to report fake news.

reporting an incorrect date isn't fake news...@@oldtimeway1

Mistake is funny. In Dezember no one thought that would happen

This is how history is rewritten.

​@@SusseBoI thought at least MSM could get the date right but no, not even that!

Her fashion sense is fab.

💟💕💟

Danish monarchs are not crowned. They are declared by the Parliament.

There's no coronation in Denmark. Frederik was proclaimed as the new monarch by the Parliament.

Thanks ...

Does'nt the monark opend the parliament in Denmark whit a speech as in Sweden?

No, they only attend the opening of parliament

Is this unlike the British monarch and the Parliament?

@@gidzmobug2323 I don´t know, how they do it in the UK. I tried to describe, how we do it in Denmark.

No fue coronación,porque la reina abdicó. Fue traspaso. En caso de muerte de la reina o rey en ejercicio,si hay coronación

There is no crowning in Denmark. They stopped doing that in the 1600s. Nowadays there is just a proclamation, as the one on 14th January, and nothing else.

Two kings?

carnation😂😂😂😂😂is that anything like a coronation?

Her Royal Highness Margrethe would never leave the throne unless she felt she couldn't manage. She had a back surgery and her health is not 100%.

I feel a mother is a mother whether queen or even a normal living being. Mother likes to see her kids shining. Hope this scandalous son stand up to his forefathers.

​@@gittenielsen95 Agree!

​@@sathiavathithiagarajan7476He is not scandalous, he was young as many of us. When was it - 30 years ago?

Your assumptions are making a fool of you. Have you had double knee surgery plus major back surgery. We have known her all of her 52 years of reign and believe you me, the only reason for her abdication is her health. She is not a well lady. Her mother was also a very ill lady at the end of her life, but she could resign. Margrethe II could traditionally not, however she has changed a lot in the Royal House for the better. Her privilege and right. It has come out that she has been mulling over the thought of abdicating since her back surgery. I suspect that she is in pain. Surgery doesn't guarantee no pain afterwards. This is okay. But don't assume to compare our Royal family to the British and our heart for them. We are hugely protective of them. The media is playing Mary out against Frederik and that isn't right. Without Frederik there would be no Queen Mary. They are a unit.

CNN, famous for fake news.

Benedicte didn't curtsy either, she should have?

I don't think God has time for that sort of thing - he himself abdicated a long time ago.

Good point! Yes Queen Elizabeth would have enjoyed seeing Charles as king.

@@shidehhafezi6826Indeed I think she was scared shitless of the hot mess he’d make of it and that’s why she stayed so long.

That life was the one she chose for herself, so there’s nothing to be said on that. BUT having her skeleton come out to greet the new PM was inappropriate. They could have spared her that one.

@@shidehhafezi6826 Prince Philip had said (joked?) that QEII was still alive to keep Charles from the throne for as long as possible.

@@twingytwango6971 They did not dragged her out to meet the new PM. It was her decision to serve until the very end as Queen.

"formally", not "formerly".

Proclaimed, not announced

Margrethe

With good reason. Wishing your country peace and prosperity. Long live the King!

Proclaimed not sworn in

And also: He was not "sworn in", but there was just a public proclamation that his mother had abdicated and that he is now the king. That was it.

Margrethe is still alive. She has simply stepped aside in Frederik's favor.

Now its interesting to see when Victoria gets the throne.. If Carl 16 Gustav will join his cousin or wait until the end.

@@MichaelHedegaardJensen Maybe then Estelle is 18 years

@@AlfCalson Maybe.. but now he have seen , that it is possible.

​@@MichaelHedegaardJensenCarl XVI Gustaf has said that he will stay on the throne until he dies, so no abdication. But so did Margrethe say until she abdicated.... So who knows?

Charles has waited so long for his turn, he's not going to let it go so easily 😛

Charles hasn't even been on the throne for two years yet, and you want him to abdicate already? Why? He waited his entire life to get the throne. He's not giving it up and he doesn't have to.

The big difference is that the Queen of Denmark ruled for 52 years. King Charles has ruled not even 2 years yet. She got the position when she was young, he got his in his 70's.

Really…

Прямо как диктатор Путлер

No, nothing changes in that regard. He is still Prince Joachim. And 5th in line after the 4 children of our new King and Queen. The next in line after Joachim would be HIS 4 children. Which is why their "titles" were changed recently by the former Reigning Queen Margrethe II. Because they will never actually be close to become the Reigning Monarch. For each new child born in the direct line to the Throne, Joachim and his children will be one step further down the list. So many commenters read all kind of things into this. But it is really straight forward. To secure the survival of the Monarchy, the most prominent "Titles" need to be only for the ones closest to the Throne.

@@k7u5r8t4 thankyou for taking the time to respond in such detail

The "runner up title", by which I presume you mean crown prince, is now Frederik's eldest son Christian.

The reason is "privy" to most people in Denmark!! Queen Margrethe II has undergone major back surgery recently. And is obviously slowed down fysically by that. She simply cannot perform all her usual duties as well, as she WANTS to be able to. Frederik and Mary have done a lot more of that recently anyway, so the logical solution was to hand over to them officially. Also Christian, the now Crown Prince turned 18 late last year, so HE can also slowly take over some duties now. We are not "missing" any of that info!

What's so odd about a monarch abdicating? It's not like it's never happened before.

900 years ago in Denmark makes it somewhat rare. @@kimberlytyrcha5930

She was served something like 14 NOLs. She had to step down.

So what? He still had the affair. There are plenty of pictures of what happened. It's still adultery. Of course he didn't remove his ring. Why would they break up the family and destroy the image of unity and symbol of the nation? Absurd notion.

Why does Mary seem distant towards Fred lately if the affair weren’t true?

@Sanne_Mathiasen Agreed - I would have thought an 'affair' would be kept hidden from the public - his meeting with the woman was out in the open for the public to see -

@@nancyflaherty7038 Well any woman would probably act in a similar manner until she'd heard his or his bodyguard's version

At most that whole "affair" was an over-the-top flirt. In my mind, his mother thought: "boy needs a real job to occupy himself. Here's my two weeks notice."

Thank goodness it wasn’t just me who observed that! Stroppy lil’ madam!

Who are you talking about?

I strongly believe she is well aware of her parents' situation. Princess Josephine is always true to herself and very expressive. She knows what's going on and it shows on her face. Please don't blame her.

La princesse Josephine fait sa tête de mule.

​@@nuno7588becareful what u say thus an insult

Who wouldn’t? 😊

I like Luxembourg's royal family better than the British royal family. Everyone's entitled to like who they want. The British royal family isn't that great.

La Monarquia más antigua de Europa es la española,desde el siglo.VI. 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦

I think they're referring to oldest SURVIVING monarchy that goes in one almost continuous, unbroken chain.

Both Scotland and Norway´s monarchys have been "broken" many times.. Denmark´s have not been broken a single time since 936. And therefore Denmark IS the oldest kingdom and monarchy in Europe. 1. Scotland monarchy is no more, stopped in 1707. 2. Norway´s monarchy was broken in 1387 with the death of Olav/Olaf 2./ Olaf 3. (same person) From there the mornachy of Norway died out, and was newfounded by a danish prince in 1905.

Denmark´s monarchy is also older then 843... The oldest known King of Denmark was in 804 (died in 810)... And before there we had 300 years or so with "legend" kings

@@JesperSandgreen Scotland's monarchy did not stop in 1707. When the English Royal Family died out in 1603 the Scottish Royal Family took over and it continues through the British Royal Family. Scotland has never ceased to be a monarchy. Norway continued to be a monarchy, except it did not have a native King. It was ruled by Danish and then Swedish Kings but it still remained a monarchy. As for Denmark, tthe present Royal House in the ninth to rule the country. The present House was only distantly related to the previous House which had died out.

As a dane I whole heartedly disagree. Our royals are representatives internationally, who help bring in a lot of business to Denmark, that then benefits the common man, both in terms of workplaces and taxes, it’s a profit business. Besides that our royals is something that bring our country together, recent polls showed an 80 something percent approval rating, we love our royals!

Our royal family is not political. They don’t vote, or publicly support any political parties. However they have been a constant in the history of our country for more than a millennium, shaping our nation and its people. We know them and cherish them for their enduring devotion to Denmark, danish culture and the danish people.

If you really care that much about workers/"farmers" rights, I'm pretty sure there's 1000 things going on right now around the world demanding your immediate attention and outrage. Heck, even in the US alone. A single small family getting a couple of million dollars for dressing up in make believe clothes as to attract tourists and raise the country's GDP is such a tiny tiny drop in an almost infinitely huge bucket. Plus it's not like they get the job with full impunity (like trust fund kids do). The first time the population deems one of them incompetent for the job and not worth the investment, they'll simply get overthrown.

Feudalism wasn't a thing in Denmark proper.

What a load of rubbish. Actually it is none of your business!
