King Frederik touched by people’s ovation

King Frederik reflects on the heartfelt public tribute during the succession ceremony on January 14, which he’ll never forget, in his first interview as monarch. He describes the warm reception at Christiansborg Palace Square as a deeply moving experience that struck a chord in his heart. Frederik’s initial weeks as king have been a significant change, yet he sees it positively and feels the support indicates the Danish people’s readiness for a new chapter, one he is ready for too. Currently, the King is in Poland to promote Danish green solutions, potentially influential in Poland’s shift away from coal. On Wednesday, he initiated the campaign with a speech at Warsaw’s historic museum, emphasizing his commitment to green transformation, mentioning the war in Ukraine and Middle Eastern conflicts as reasons for stronger focus on green changes. The trip, aimed at strengthening Danish-Polish relations, also includes ministers Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Lars Aagaard, and Jacob Jensen.
