Denmark’s prime minister proclaimed Frederik X King on Sunday after his mother, Queen Margrethe II, formally signed her abdication, with huge crowds turning out to rejoice at the throne passing from a beloved monarch to her popular son.
Margrethe, 83, is the first Danish monarch to voluntarily relinquish the throne in nearly 900 years.
Thousands gathered outside the palace where the royal succession took place, with the Nordic nation experiencing its first royal succession in more than a half-century, and one not caused by the death of a monarch.
