King Frederik of Denmark released a statement on the first anniversary of ascending the throne upon the abdication of his mother, Queen Margrethe.
Taking to social media, the King wrote: “Seriousness.
“Concentration.
“A smile on my face.
“It was all at stake when, at this time a year ago, I was getting ready for the proclamation. Taking over from my mother without having to say goodbye was and is a privilege of the very greatest.
“January 14, 2024, was an emotional and unforgettable day from start to finish.”
