Frederik X wipes away tears as he is proclaimed king of Denmark
Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, proclaimed Frederik X as king on the balcony of Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, after Queen Margrethe II formally signed her abdication, ending her 52-year reign as the country’s longest-serving monarch.
Thousands of people gathered on the streets of the capital on Sunday to greet Frederik and bid farewell to Margrethe, who became the first Danish monarch in nearly 900 years to abdicate voluntarily.
