King Frederik shares pictures before first day as monarch
King Frederik shared a series of photos on the royal house’s Instagram from his first day as regent a year ago, a moment described with seriousness, focus, and a smile. On January 14, 2024, he succeeded Queen Margrethe, describing the day as emotional and unforgettable, especially highlighted in his New Year’s speech. He reminisced about the moments before appearing on the balcony and the support he received from the crowd and his family, including Queen Mary and their children. The king expressed deep gratitude for the love and support felt during the transition. As King Frederik marks his first anniversary, a Voxmeter survey for Ritzau shows eight out of ten Danes believe he has performed well in his inaugural year.
