He’s stepping out of the royal ranks! Queen Margrethe of Denmark (83) stated in her New Year’s speech that she wanted to abdicate as monarch in January. Now the time has come: on January 14th she handed over her regency to her eldest son Frederik (55). Just like the former ruler, the new king is extremely popular among his compatriots: This is partly due to his unconventional nature, which is also reflected in his appearance: Frederik has two tattoos!
There is hardly a nobleman who is as well-known for his ink artwork as the newly crowned monarch: the shark that adorns the 55-year-old’s lower leg and reminds him of his time in the Navy’s Frogman Corps – a combat swimmer unit – has already been painted countless times photographed by paparazzi. There is also said to be another permanent body paint on his upper arm – a black ornament. However, since the Regent usually wears long-sleeved clothing at events, this can be easily hidden. It is not known whether Frederik has any other tattoos.
Recently, however, the popular king made more negative headlines: After the Spanish magazine Lecturas reported that Frederik was secretly dating the Mexican celebrity at the end of October Genevieve Casanova (47) is said to have met, the rumors of affairs surrounding the future king kept the country in suspense. However, at their coronation, the royal couple defied the speculation with a loving kiss.
