Queen Elizabeth II previously said having a supportive partner can make a big difference to a successful reign. However, there are already rumours about Prince Frederik's marriage before he even becomes king, with royal fans showing their support for his wife, Crown Princess Mary.

Denmark’s royal family is undergoing a MAJOR change!

is over, should Peter Morgan start chronicling the dramas of the Danish royal family? Det Krone? Because Denmark's long-reigning Queen Margrethe just made a historic announcement, and rumor has it, there's a scandalous reason why.On December 31, 2023, Queen Margrethe II made her annual New Year's Eve address to the nation (if you're just learning that Denmark even has a royal family…welcome to the convo!), and announced her decision to step down in two weeks' time. In her statement, she chalked it up to the length of her reign (over half a century) and her recent back surgery. After all, the woman is 83; it makes sense that she would want to relax a little and let the younger generation do the work instead.

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II, who has reigned for more than 50 years and is Europe’s longest-serving monarch, said during her traditional New Year’s Eve speech on Danish television that she will abdicate the throne in early 2024.

Prince Christian of Denmark won’t accept his royal pension from the government when he turns 18 this October, opting to focus on finishing his studies.  The 17-year-old, who is second in line to the Danish throne behind his father Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, will only seek the funding entitled to him on his 18th birthday either when he turns 21 or if there is a "change of throne" before that, the Danish Royal House said in a release on its website and social media.  The teenage prince will also continue to only be involved in official royal duties to a "limited extent," the palace explained, adding that it was in agreement with the Ministry of State that the royal’s "main priority" should be completing his education.  When he turns 21 it’s expected that he’ll join in royal events to a "greater extent," depending on where he is in his education, the royal house said.  Christian’s grandmother is Queen Margrethe II, 83, who has been on the Scandinavian country’s throne for more than 50 years, and he is the oldest of his siblings: Princess Isabella, 15, and Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, 12.  The queen stirred controversy in her own family last year when the Danish Royal House announced in September that the four children of her youngest son Prince Joachim would no longer be called prince or princess but instead count and countess.            View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by DET DANSKE KONGEHUS
