goodbye to Margaret II of Denmark and welcome Frederick X. The 83-year-old sovereign bids farewell to the Danish Throne after 52 years of reign and passes the baton to her son. She will be this Sunday, January 14, at the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen in a ceremony marked by sobriety. A change in the leadership of the State that is accompanied by new times. A historic day for Denmark and for the Royal House, which are trying to look to the future and turn the page on the viral photos of the prince with the Mexican Genoveva Casanova in Madrid.
With Federico, a new era begins in the Crown that also has the leading role of a woman: his wife Mary Donaldson. The Australian lawyer is a great asset to the House. She brings a modern, feminist, empathetic image that is permeable to the concerns of women and young people. Mary connects socially.
The details of the proclamation, which are advanced from Casa Real, They mark an institutional, regal and sober act. No fuss. No ostentation. There will be official poses, a salute from the palace balcony, gun salutes, a Regiment of Hussars of the Royal Guard to escort the Queen and there will be a float. The carriage that transports the Queen will be the same one used by the princes once Frederick is proclaimed king. The photo has been shared by official networks.
We will see the float on the journey that Margaret takes from Amalienborg Castle to Christiansborg. His Majesty will be accompanied by the Royal Guard. The same one that Margarita travels in will be the one that her son and daughter-in-law use as kings. It will be a woman, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who will proclaim Frederick king. The announcement will take place around 3:00 p.m. this Sunday on the Christiansborg balcony. This detail has been discussed on networks. Some users wonder why the Prime Minister is in charge of announcing the proclamation and not the outgoing Queen.
The Golden Jubilee carriage was built between 1891 and 1892 by the coach manufacturer FC Schulz in Copenhagen. It was a gift from Copenhagen artisans to Christian IX and Queen Louise when they celebrated 50 years of marriage. At the monarch's request, a light and elegant car was built in black lacquered mahogany with the Danish coat of arms painted on both doors.
The seat covered with original red silk velvet is decorated with gold embroidery, gold fringes and tassels. The Danish coat of arms has embroidery in gold, silver and silk thread. The interior of the carriage, called coupé, has preserved its interior upholstered in white silk tufting with the names of the Kings who received the gift. It was the first carriage in Denmark to have electric lights both inside and outside.
