Danish Queen Margrethe has completed her last official duties as queen. On Monday, only a number of public audiences were scheduled for the 83-year-old queen, who recently announced her resignation.
Laundry worker Flemming Kjølstrup Jensen was the last Dane to have an audience with the queen, the Danish court shared on Instagram.
Margrethe has received audiences from 50 to 150 Danes every few weeks since 1972. These are, for example, government leaders and ambassadors, but sometimes also citizens. In a personal conversation with the Queen, thoughts are exchanged that are of political or social importance. During the 52 years that Margrethe was on the throne, more than 50,000 conversations took place, according to the court.
The queen announced on New Year’s Eve that she is stepping down as queen. Her son, Crown Prince Frederik, will succeed her on Sunday.
