A highly emotional King Frederik X has acceded to the Danish throne, sealing the special ­moment with a kiss with his wife, Australian-born Queen Mary.
King Frederik later announced his mission statement, or motto: “Connected, committed for the Kingdom of Denmark.”
Queen Margrethe’s was “God’s help, the people’s love, Denmark’s strength”. Frederik’s orchestra-conducting grandfather King Frederik’s was “With God for Denmark”.
Mary and Frederik then took a carriage ride to their home – Amalienborg Palace.
No foreign dignitaries or royals were invited, but among the first to congratulate Frederik and Mary was King Charles III, who wrote: “My wife joins me in writing to convey our very best wishes on the day of your accession to the throne of the Kingdom of De­nmark.
