The Danish people couldn't be happier or more excited after learning about the latest announcement regarding Queen Margrethe. According to reports, after the latest setback within the institution, the monarch has decided to take action.
There's no doubt that January 14, 2024, is a date the people of Denmark will never forget. On that day, Queen Margrethe officially abdicated, and with her resignation, a new era began for the Danish monarchy.
This change on the throne meant her eldest son, Frederik, was proclaimed King of Denmark. However, his rise was surrounded by great controversy due to the scandals that had affected his marriage to Mary Donaldson.
Since then, the Danish people have shown their discontent with several decisions made by the new monarchs. Throughout this year and a half, the couple have been at the center of various situations that have caused a certain social unease.
Now, a real stir has erupted in the country following the latest personal decision made by the current Danish monarch: taking a few days off. In this situation, many believe that, in his absence, Prince Christian should assume the regency of the country.
However, as has been announced, contrary to what was expected, it has been Queen Margrethe who has taken the lead of the Danish Crown. Many consider this decision to be the right one, since, thanks to her experience, the institution won't be at risk.
Queen Margrethe makes a decision that moves the Danes: taking the reins of the monarchy
As expected, the unexpected and temporary return of Queen Margrethe to the throne has caused a real stir in the country. However, this announcement has caused great surprise, but also a certain sense of reassurance among more critical sectors.
Frederik and Mary are fully aware of the controversy their decisions always generate. In fact, the Danish press constantly reflects the population's unease regarding some of their actions.
However, the criticism doesn't just come from local media. The international press also closely follows every move of the Danish royal family. In fact, German outlets such as Bunte have described the current moment as "chaos in the calendar."
Nevertheless, this hasn't been the only criticism received by Queen Margrethe's son, since in Denmark recent events have also been questioned. Institutional disorganization has become the center of public debate.
A few days ago, King Frederik X decided to take a break. He was seen at the Wimbledon tennis tournament, and he did so without his wife's company, which further fueled rumors of a marital crisis. This appearance once again put the royal marriage under the media spotlight.
Meanwhile, Crown Prince Christian was supposed to assume the regency during his parents' absence. In fact, the young man was scheduled to be regent from July 6 to 13, while his parents enjoyed their vacation. However, plans changed unexpectedly.
According to Danish outlet Billed Bladet, it has been Queen Margrethe who has taken on that responsibility. In addition, the agency Dana Press has also reported on this new twist in the regency. The reason: Christian has decided to go on vacation, just like his parents.
This new episode has caused even more outrage among the people of Denmark. Although they're not required to make their personal plans public, the lack of foresight has been harshly criticized.
Despite everything, Queen Margrethe has taken on the challenge with the experience and commitment she has always shown toward the Crown. A decision that has been widely applauded, since, unlike her eldest son, the monarch has always had the support and affection of the citizens.
