LOOK. Danish Queen Margrethe abdicates
Margrethe made her decision in complete secrecy, the newspaper writes. Frederik “only found out a few days in advance”. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was also told so late that she could throw away her New Year’s speech and have to write a new one. In addition, Margrethe had not informed any of her closest friends.
Queen Margrethe announced on New Year’s Eve that she is abdicating the throne after 52 years. She also completed her last official task as queen today. There were only a number of public audiences on the Queen’s program on Monday.
Laundry worker Flemming Kjølstrup Jensen was the last Dane to have an audience with the queen, the Danish court shared on Instagram. Since 1972, Margrethe has received audiences from between 50 and 150 Danes every few weeks. During the 52 years that she was on the throne, according to the court, there were more than 50,000 conversations. Her son Crown Prince Frederik will succeed her next Sunday.
