Excitement in Denmark: King Frederik has made a confession about Queen Margrethe

Emotional confession from King Frederik about his mother, Queen Margrethe, which has left a deep mark on Denmark

King Frederik X of Denmark has revealed an emotional message related to his mother, Queen Margrethe, during his trip to the Faroe Islands. In a heartfelt speech, the monarch confessed that his mother asked him to convey a special greeting to the people of the archipelago. This gesture moved everyone present, as it reflects the closeness and affection that the royal family keeps with this region, which has been so important to them for decades.

During his address, Frederik X recalled a historic visit that marked his family and the Danish Crown. He remembered that in 2018, together with his wife, Queen Mary, and their children, they visited the Faroe Islands exactly 40 years after he made his first visit. The timing coincidence was a source of pride and reflection for the monarch, who emphasized the importance this place has for his mother and for himself.

Additionally, the king and queen shared a touching anecdote about their children, highlighting the unity and affection that prevail in their family. With a warm tone, Frederik X mentioned that his youngest daughter, Princess Josephine, is experiencing this in a special way, while their other absent children might be sending "envious thoughts" her way. This comment humanized the monarch, showing a more personal and paternal side that is rarely seen in official events.

Frederik X wanted to emphasize the special message that his mother, Queen Margrethe, asked him to convey. In his own words, he said: "You are important to my mother, Queen Margrethe, who asked me to send you her greetings." The phrase reflects the affection and deep connection that the queen keeps with the island's inhabitants and highlights the importance of that historical and emotional bond.

It was not just a protocol act, but a moment that strengthened the family and territorial ties that keep the members of the Royal House united. The king emphasized that his children are the core that keeps the monarchy cohesive and, in a certain sense, the country itself. The family, in his words, represents "half of the population," making it clear that their strength lies in unity and mutual love.

This trip not only served to reaffirm Frederik X's role as a close and committed head of state, but also to show a renewed image of the Danish monarchy. The royal family thus appears modern, accessible, and aware of the importance of the traditions and regions that make up the Kingdom of Denmark. The king's confession about his mother added a human component that moved everyone and that, without a doubt, will remain in the collective memory of this historic journey.

Thus, the monarch reinforces that the Crown is alive and connected to its roots and to all the citizens of the Kingdom.
