Margaret of Denmark, 83, a rock of a woman: the year she left tobacco and the throne

The queen emeritus Margaret of Denmark, 83 years old, is a rock of a woman. She is part of that generation of unfathomable strength. The monarch, who was born in Copenhagen in April 1940, is an example of strength and resistance. She ascended the Throne in 1972 and has remained on it for 52 years. With the social support of an overwhelming majority in its native country (around 89% support), Daisy ended her reign the same year she decided to quit smoking. A habit, that of tobacco, that has accompanied her since adolescence.

Margaret said goodbye to the Throne on January 14 and abdicated in favor of her son, Frederick. The new King enjoys the majority sympathy of the Danes, 86% support, thanks to his mother's enormous connection with people. Thanks also to Mary's magnetism, she has conquered society with her closeness and naturalness.

Margarita, who started smoking at the age of 17, had to quit cigarettes last year due to a doctor's prescription, as she underwent back surgery.

Federico, the 'turbo prince' and the 'eco king'

A fan of adventure and sports, Federico has stood out for his interest in the health of the planet and the environment. In his youth, his passion for cars and speed brought him some displeasure. Like the accident he had in France in 1988 or when he was arrested by the police three years later, on New Year's Eve, while his girlfriend, drunk and without a license, was driving the heir's car: the fine was for her and the Queen's anger was for him. She earned the nickname turbo prince, reported EFE, which echoed the headline of the Danish newspaper Extra Magazine “Deliver us from Frederick as king.”

He is the first member of the Royal Family to complete university studies (Political Sciences). His social reputation rose greatly when he cried his eyes out on his wedding day, while he was waiting for Mary. It was in May 2004. Emotional and sensitive, we also saw him cry on the day of his proclamation as King.

Differences between mother and son: 'The Lord of the Rings' Vs Bowie

Margaret is a modern woman who made her way in a world of men's royals (except Queen Elizabeth II of England). An ex-smoker and lover of culture, painting and illustration, she participated in the Danish edition of The Lord of the rings, a novel of which he has declared himself a fan. Mother and son have different cultural tastes. The former head of state likes classical music and literature and Federico, David Bowie and Led Zeppelin.
