Sky News host Danica De Giorgio says King Frederik looked “quite emotional” after Queen Margrethe II signed the instrument of abdication.
Prince Frederik and his Australian-born wife, Princess Mary, are officially Denmark’s new King and Queen.
King Frederik X and Queen Mary ascended to the throne on Sunday afternoon, local time, after Queen Margrethe II declared her abdication.
“He looked quite emotional there – quite solemn as his mother signed that document,” Ms De Giorgio said.
“And then she stood up, and she left, and he took that main position in the middle of the table and on his right side – of course – was his son.”
