He will be the new head of state of Denmark. Yesterday’s New Year’s speech by Queen Margrethe of Denmark (83) will be remembered by her people for a long time: After 52 years on the throne, the monarch announced that she will soon abdicate. The time will come on January 14th – her eldest son, Crown Prince Frederik (55), will take over the scepter. And this after the father of four has had an extremely turbulent year…
The 55-year-old will be named Frederik X after his coronation. Like Margrethe, the royal and his family were extremely popular. But around two months ago, Frederik made surprising headlines: He was said to be having an affair with an actress. The palace has not yet commented on this. But shortly after the rumors became public, Princess Mary (51) traveled to her homeland in Australia.
Frederik and Mary met at the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000 – the two married four years later. With their wedding, they were considered the dream couple among the blue-bloods. Frederik and Mary are now parents of two daughters and two sons.
