Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has chosen to abdicate from the Danish throne the 14th of January, after 52 years on the throne.

She told the whole kingdom of Denmark, and the rest of the world, live on television during her new year speech to the people.

There has not been a voluntary abdication in Denmark since the early medieval times (1100-1200)

The Queen has always said that she will sit on the throne until her last breath, which is why her abdication comes as a surprise to everyone.

Her son Crown Prince Frederik and his wife Crown Princess Mary will take over as King Frederik X and Queen Mary.

Thank you, your majesty, for all you have done for us and how you have always shown your love and respect to the Danish people. We look forward to seeing you hopefully enjoy your abdication and hopefully we will still see more of your incredible creative mind . We have trust in our new King and Queen as we already know that you have prepared them well for their new job.

Thank you ❤️

Henrik, Prince Consort of Denmark (1934-2018)

Our queen is stepping down and letting her son take over. So the national tv has been nothing but celebration of her and her life.

Countless of people telling stories about meeting their queen and how much it ment to them.

So different from England and the discussion about how much money the coronation cost when people are living in poverty.

Perhaps because the danish royal family is extremely popular and perhaps because we don’t actually get a coronation.

The prime minister will announce the new king from the balcony of parliament and that’s pretty much it. So everyone is making their own party.

So wierd by the way to have a king. It has been a queen for the past 52 years.

Henrik, Prince Consort of Denmark

Physique: Husky Build Height: 5'11"

Prince Henrik of Denmark (born Henri Marie Jean André de Laborde de Monpezat; 11 June 1934 – 13 February 2018; aged 83) was the husband of Margrethe II of Denmark. He served as her royal consort from Margrethe's accession on 14 January 1972 until his death in 2018. Throughout his time as Prince consort, Henrik became known by reporters as “the world’s grumpiest royal,” due to his regular grievances with his life like his displeasure with the fact that he never received the title of king. And in 2016, he retired from official duties, renouncing the title of Prince Consort. In the time since, he was often in France at his private vineyard.

Before ugly duckling, King Charles III matured into a beautiful silverfox and I knew about Prince Andrew, Prince Henrik was my first prince charming. He was handsome, had an aristocratic manner, exemplified by his colorful clothes and thick French accent that made him PING LIKE HELL.

Henrik was born in the French commune of Talence near Bordeaux to an old French family, the Laborde de Monpezats. He spent his early years in Tonkin in French Indochina (now part of Vietnam), where his family had lived for many years.

The Queen and Prince Henrik had two sons, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim. Away from his marriage, Henrik was a published poet, an avid cook and a hands-on grandfather to his eight royal grandchildren. He was known to enjoy the convivial life aboard. With the wardrobe functions and gay rumors, the queen gave him a loose rein, and was less concerned by his friendships with ladies than with gentlemen.

Princess Alice of Battenberg and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. About 1901.

Nicholas was married to Alexandra, who was the youngest sister of Alice's mother, Victoria. Alexandra and Victoria were born Princesses of Hesse and by Rhine and granddaughters of Queen Victoria via her second daughter, Alice.

In 1903 Alice would marry Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, a cousin of Nicholas' and her last born child would become Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II. Alice was the grandmother of King Charles III.

Though congenitally deaf, Alice learned to read lips and speak English and German, and also later Greek, the language of her new homeland.
