A historic moment as Queen Margrethe II abdicates after 52 years, making way for King Frederik X!

In a significant royal transition, Denmark witnessed King Frederik X ascending to the throne after his mother, Queen Margrethe II, formally signed her abdication. The Danish monarchy marked a turning point as Sunday saw the end of Queen Margrethe II's remarkable 52-year reign. Prime Minister of Denmark proclaimed Frederik X as the new king at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. The abdication paved the way for a new era in the Danish monarchy as Crown Prince Frederik became King Frederik X.

Queen Margrethe II's ruby horseshoe brooch, a gift from her father, symbolized both the beginning and end of her reign. This accessory holds sentimental value, reflecting her journey as the monarch of Denmark. Additionally, at 83 years old, Queen Margrethe II became the first Danish monarch in almost 900 years to voluntarily relinquish the throne, a decision met with admiration and respect by the Danish population.
