Wow… wishing Queen Margrethe Il of Denmark the very best !! 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Her Majesty's health has been in decline for the last few years. As someone who devoted her life to the service of her country she deserves a rest.

Her Majesty Queen Margrethe is most beloved by her people, she has made us grateful and proud. She is and shall remain as family to us and we will look forward to always hearing the latest news from her. Gud bevare dronning Margrethe.

Saw this earlier today and once again, I am shocked. She is a very classy lady and God bless her.

Happy retirement Queen Margrethe 😘❤💐

My danish friends are still in shock.

Job well done, Queen Margerethe!

A really strong and wise moove of our queen - going against tradition. I am sure Frederick and Mary will do well in their new role as king and queen and prince Christian has shown that he is ready to step up as Crown Prince. Hopefully this will stop the undfounded gossip about Frederick. Good luck to our queen in her retirement and good luck to our new King and Queen.

Wishing Queen Margrethe Il of Denmark, the very best in retirement - God bless you and your family X

God bless Denmark 🇩🇰

She is always known as the Queen of Denmark, She has done it gracefully and she is still here to help her family and country .❤

Best wishes to the Queen and the Danish people from a fan in Canada🇨🇦

Another very excited Australian here. I am also very impressed by what an amazing woman Queen Margrethe is. I hope she enjoys a wonderful retirement.

I am a bit stunned but she is getting old she deserves do enjoy her Golden years with family and friends!

I love Queen Margrethe. Bless her with happy time.

I wish her well and happiness. I think she will still have plenty to do. She loves doing set and fabric designs so she could do more of that.❤❤❤

Just proving again, how sensible she is. Long live the Queen mother.

Congratulations, your Majesty ! Rest well!

What a class act she is

All the best to her Mag, Queen of Denmark, best wishes to King Frederick.❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for your service. Although I am not Danish I am well aware of your competence and kindness. Best wishes to the successors Frederik and Mary.

Her Majesty will be dearly missed

Hello from Las Vegas, Nevada. I was absolutely shocked to wake up to this news today. I was not expecting this at all. I really did think she echoed Queen Elizabeth II in her reign as Queen, to reign until she passed. However, I can see with hindsight, that this was absolutely the right decision. I will miss Queen Margethe of Denmark. She has been a fantastic Queen. I wish her all the very best in the future. I look forward to the new reign of King Fredrick and Queen Mary. They will do a fantastic job. I’ve always loved them. Good luck Crown Prince Fredrick and Crown Princess Mary. I wish you guys all the very best.

I recently watched a state visit by the king of Spain to Denmark. I saw Queen Margrethe ambulate (move) with care and a lot of strain on her face. However, I think her health, the advanced years and moving forward without her consort husband has finally taken it's toll. In addition, I suspect the queen had a talk w/ her fellow monarch, King Felipe VI, regarding abdication and his thoughts on assuming the responsibilities. Perhaps, she became convinced among the things previously mentioned, that it was best for her, her son and Denmark for her to step aside to allow a more active younger, virile person to assume the duties of head of state. In addition, I think Queen Margrethe did not want her son to succeed to the throne when he was in his 70's, i.e., most people's retirement. Furthermore, I don't think Queen Margrethe will fade away. She still can contribute to Denmark acting as regent as her mother, Queen Ingrid, did when she was away from Denmark. Queen Ingrid was helpful to her daughter for most of her remaining years and I'm sure Margrethe will contribute to King Frederik's reign in every way possible. Gud bevare Danmark!

Mary will make a wonderful queen. She hasn't put a foot wrong ever since she married Frederick and given Denmark a beautiful family.

As a Dane, I am sad to see her leave, for she has given such diversity to The Royal Household and she is the only Queen, I remember ❤ ...but CPFrederik & CPMary will do a fantastic job, none the less. Something calmer about an abdication, no sadness, no public sorrow - and QMII will still be around to give advice, if needed 🇩🇰

I wish her Majesty the best in her retirement years, lovely woman. Princess Mary Donaldson will be a lovely queen, strong, intelligent, pretty and has made Australians proud. A great mom to her four children a wife many would envy. Happy New Year Alexandra best wishes for 2024 from Texas USA

Can't imagine Denmark without this great lady at the helm!

May the 1Queen have a great retirement and enjoy her life!!

I salute our Quee. and respect her desision. We Will miss her, but know that her son Frederik will be good King

Truly shocking decision always expected her to go until her death since she's already very old

Lovely comments. Thanks for your channel. Concise and informative. Great coverage of royal households. Long live the King.

Some friends who live in Copenhagen thought she might stay until Christian turned 21. Wishing this lovely Queen a happy and fulfilling retirement

So sad to hear the news, I really liked her - from her growing up and becoming queen from what I have seen and read about her, I developed a lot of respect and admiration of her ...truly a kind and respected sovereign!💐💐

She is a beautiful Queen and will bring great support to her son and daughter in law. May God bless her and her family ..

Queen should get to choose her future for her own health and peace.

Thanks for sharing. We shall miss her. Time to go to Amalienborg on King Frederik's birthday and once again shout "King, King, please come out, if not we shall never go home". Last time I did it was in the 1960s at Frederik IX's birthday...

As a Brit, I am sorry for the Danish people. Her Majesty Queen Margrethe was, is and always has been a simply SUPERB Monarch...She was the first blood cousin of our late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the two ladies were/are simply in love with their respective countries. I wish the new joint regnancy or King Frederik and Queen Mary the very best of wishes, and may Danes continue to flourish and prosper under their reign. Gud bevaret Danmark 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

I actually remember when Queen Margaret Margrethe became Queen in 1972. She has done so much for her country, she deserves a happy retirement. 😊 Now is probably a good time to pass the torch. Thank you very much Alexandra, this was a very fine report. Now, go have a good time at the beach ⛱️ 😎

God bless the Queen!

A very happy 2024 to you and yours. Thank you for keeping us updated!!

Happy New Year!!! A well deserve rest for Queen Margrethe ll.enjoy a relax life with your family and 2 sisters.God bless!!! Goodluck to the new King and Queen❤

Queen Margrethe , a lovely lady and an amazing leader for her country. 🇦🇺

What an amazing woman, leader, mother, and queen. Wishing her health and ongoing peace and tranquility in her retirement. God Bless Queen Margarethe of Denmark and success to King Fredrick and Queen Mary! Her days of curtsying are over! PS perhaps cousins in Sweden and Norway will follow suit and make way for the next generation of Scandinavian royalty! Cheers, Michael Albuquerque NM USA

Bravo and thank you for your service, Ma'am! I will miss Queen Margrethe's exceptional artistry, class, and warm smile. God Bless the Dane's from USA CA xx! Happy NY!

Although never happened before in modern times, it is very typically Danish. Democracy and decent.

I’m really going to miss her. Such a beautiful elegant lady and so loved. I’m honored to have the same birthday (April 16), and the same height as she (5’11”). Love to Queen Margrethe from Betsy in Washington, DC.

great lady and a close confidant of the late QEII. Much respected

God bless Her Majesty. She may enjoy her retirement and spend the future together with her sisters and her hobbies. All the best to the new Royal Couple.

All the best to the futur King & Queen of Denmark ❤

Amazing news for those of us in Australia. A Tasmanian girl has grown up to become the Queen of Denmark! Sending warm wishes to Frederik and Mary and to Christian who has now quickly turned 18yrs and become a man plus Crown Prince. I do hope Queen Margrethe is as well as can be to enjoy her retirement. Much love from Australia to Denmark.🇦🇺❤🇩🇰

Long live Queen Margrette ll... Such a level headed queen and Denmark is so fortunate to have her as their queen... I wish for a the new king the best this year and years to come devoid of scandals and difficulties...

Wow...although I think this is the right decision, it does not make it any less of a shock and surprise. However, now there will be a transition that is not full of grief and sorrow. She can enjoy a well-earned and well-deserved rest and relax enjoying spending more time with her hobbies and passions. She can also be there to watch her son become King and be a source of support and advice for him, Mary and Christian as they embark on their new rolls. She has served as monarch for 52 years and made her indelible mark on the monarchy and DRF and not it is time to pass the baton and give the new generation a chance to do the same. So, congratulations to Daisy on doing this in her way, on her terms and in her time. And now, a new chapter for Denmark begins with King Frederik and Queen Mary. They will do an amazing job...they are ready, prepared and in their prime to take up the mantle of the monarchy and DRF and move it forward. Daisy has repeatedly stated that she is confident in her son and DIL to be an amazing royal couple. She obviously knows that better than anyone else. Happy New Year to everyone! And thank you Alexandra for always providing amazing coverage of all the royal families! Here we go 2024!!

I am glad and happy for Queen Margrethe, after the operation ( glad she was up and about soon after) its time to enjoy her life, take a rest. Am sure her people of Denmark is happy for her. God Bless You, Your Majesty. God Bless the new King and Queen of Denmark. Thank you Alexandra, enjoy yourself, Happy New Year.

She looked in tears.

This was a shock. I get it that she has health problems. Now she can spend time with her sisters who are all widowed now. I am now wondering if King Harald will also abdicate.

Congratulations to Queen Margrethe 🇩🇰 , what a wise choice, she has chosen to increase the needs of the Monarchy & the Danish community at the forefront, a future with purpose & intent 🥳 🎉 🪅🍾 🇦🇺 🎊 🍺🍾 🍻 🥳. Thank you for your years of service.

HM Margrethe II of Denmark 🇩🇰 is a wonderful royal woman and I love her Danish royal family a lot ❤😊

I really hope she will enjoy her retirement 😊

Very sad, but Queen Margrethe needs to take care of her ailing vertebrae. I wish her good luck, as back surgery is incredibly delicate and there is a much higher chance of it not working at her advanced age. I will pray for her.

Well done gracious Queen. Be in good cheer and best of health to transition and grasp onto the gifts that will continue to fill your heart and soul. The way has been made for the next: May they use their gifts to the fullest for the good of the country as you have exampled. Please keep us in the loop on your latest creative concepts. Most of all “the fruit of the spirit” to you and your people YM. 🙏🌻❤🎈

I've been enjoying your videos for some time now. It's one of many channels I make a point to keep up with in regards to the royals. Thank you so much!

I love Queen Daisy. I am sure Frederic and Mary will do her proud.

God bless Denmark and the Queen

I was hoping for a coronation

She deserves a comfortable retirement, but it's sad to think of her no longer being the radiant, enthusiastic public face of her wonderful country. She's truly a national treasure!

God Bless Queen Margaret II of Denmark she ruled well. Alexandra have fun surfing and enjoy your New Years Eve🎉

I hope she gets to retain her title and be known as Queen Emeritus and not back to being princess again like they did with the former Dutch Queen. I thought that was daft.

Bravo a cette Reine de savoir dire stop ....

Wow, you were fast with this, very impressed ! Enjoy some beach time you deserve it!

Gott Nytt år för Er med familjen 💟🕊️👑

Well done Alexandra. Beautifully covered. Thank you! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year God bless.and to the Danish Royal family

From a good monarch to a better one. Bless their country!

Good reporting and Happy New Year of Royal news! ( always something!!)

She made a wise move like the Queen of the Netherlands. Now Frederick will more responsibilities that will keep him from the alleged activity of dalliance.

I did not see this coming either.

That will make a dent in UK Royals. Wish Charlie would abdicate and let the younger generation do a better job.

I have always admired Queen Margrethe or "Daisy"* greatly for her intelligence, wisdom and perseverance - and love for the arts and archaeology (I'm an archaeologist myself and she often visited our campus in Aarhus, where she studied). I really respect her decision! The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are extremely popular, but she will always be the Queen mother of the Danish people. Frederik is ready but he has big shoes to fill. *Daisy is her nickname here as "marguerit" is the Danish word for daisy.

Qué bien!!! Mary será lá REINA de Dinamarca 🇩🇰

Happy Retirementto Queen Margrethe! The Danish People Love you! and I hope yur Son will be as Dedicated to his FAMILY and Country as you were! His Queen Mary is a Wonderful Woman and Loved. God Bless! I Hope Frederick will SMARTEN UP and not Play Around. . Denmark doesnt need an Edward V11!!!

Frederick and Mary are a beautiful couple

Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Thank you.

God Save the King!😕😕😕😕😕

Today, a german newspaper raised the question, if this could be a move to save the royal couple´s marriage.... If that should be the case, which I doubt, this wouldn´t work in long run!

Wonder if her side hustle will become her main hustle now.

Glad to see you are on top of this 😊Happy New Year

She’s literally just given a 2 weeks notice!

Frederick will be the hottest king! He is very handsome.

Congratulation to the Qeeen -- she is well known for thoughtful and stragetic planning -- lots to think about -------take care

I don't mean this in a depressing way at all, but it will be nice in her aging widowhood to be able to spend more private time with her now two widowed sisters with whom she is close. She has served well. Frederik still has her as a counselor on issues. I was not sure when her husband died, still unhappy with his title, and then, when she changed the make-up of the monarchy by eliminating members of what the Brits would call the "working royals" team, I thought hmm. Make big changes before departing the immediate scene, so that Frederik doesn't have that on his plate, as his burden and it's more in line with what the UK is doing. If the world survives the next 20 years or so, there will be quite a few queens/female sovereigns to replace the void she leaves.

I knew you would do a video on this when I first sawet my your quick off the beaten I love your channel. It is absolutely fascinating, but we ve lost a meeting to learn about the different royal families around the world

Makes me wonder if King Harald is going to do the same eventually🤔

It’s reallly a wise move on the part of queen Margarette while she still can guide the new King and Queen ! On the part of CP Mary there’s no doubt that she will do her duty well coz she have deep thinking abilities to face all the challenges in life wile for the CP Frederick hope that what have happened to him for the last few days was a bad dream and served as a lesson learned for him to become a good man ready to serve his wife ,children and above all his country!!!!

🎉happy new year

would be nice to see what types of coronations other countries have but i respect Denmarks traditions.

I think you might have been the First of KZfaqrs to do this breaking video. Well done! Amazing end to your year of youtube!

the queen quits witch 14 day's notice, now that is quick :D

I must say I was surprised, not that she decides to abdicate, but that she didn't wait 3 years. So the Danish population could celebrate her 55th anniversary. they didn't get much opportunity to celebrate her 50th anniversary .. having said that, I am sure that Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary will become a much-loved royal couple and that they will carry out the task with care and success as Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik has done all these years.,🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
