BREAKING NEWS!!!
Queen Margrethe of Denmark announced during her New Years Eve Speech she will abdicate on 14 January 2024. Crown Prince Frederik will become King.
"In February this year I underwent extensive back surgery. It went well, thanks to the skilled healthcare staff who took care of me. Of course, the operation also gave rise to thinking about the future - whether the time had come to leave the responsibility to the next generation.
I have decided that now is the right time. On 14 January 2024 – 52 years after I succeeded my beloved father – I will step down as Queen of Denmark. I leave the throne to my son Crown Prince Frederik." - Queen Margrethe of Denmark

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 ❤️

One shouldn't write one's own epitaph. I hope people will remember me as one who did her best - and who wasn't an anachronism.
- Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
Margrethe II of Denmark celebrates her 50 years on the Danish throne. With the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II, it means that Margrethe II is Europe’s only reigning queen, in addition to being its longest-serving monarch.
She is followed only by her first cousin Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, who has been on his country’s throne for 48 years.
Margrethe II inherited the throne in January 1972 after the death of her father Frederik IX, making her the first woman in Denmark to take on the role of the reigning sovereign. When she was born -  the eldest of three sisters - women were banned from taking the throne in Denmark. But a referendum in 1953 changed the law as successive Danish governments attempted to modernise the country.
She has since become one of the most popular monarchs in the world behind Elizabeth II, with an approval rating of over 80%. When she took the throne in 1972, only 45% of Danes supported the monarchy.
During her time on the throne, Margrethe II has been credited with modernising her country’s monarchy, allowing, for instance, her sons to marry non-royals.
Margrethe II is also known for her involvement in the country’s cultural scene, illustrating a Danish edition of The Lord of the Rings.
She is also a painter and costume designer, working with the Royal Danish Ballet and the Royal Danish Theatre.

On May 4, 2018, Danish artist Bjorn Norgaard presented his creation — a sarcophagus for the reigning Queen of Denmark Margrethe II, who has been on the throne since 1972. The sarcophagus consists of symbols of the Danish state and is made of materials from the territories of the country, which also include Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The three columns supporting the sarcophagus are made of Danish granite, Faroese basalt and Greenland marble. The sarcophagus itself is made of crystal, in which a paired bed is carved, exactly repeating the appearance and dimensions of the bodies of the royal spouses: Queen Margrethe II and the late Prince Consort Henrik, who wished to be buried separately from his wife.

The sarcophagus stands in the chapel of Roskilde Cathedral.
