The first joint appearance of Frederick X with his mother, Queen Margaret, has already staged the position of each one. The previous monarch stood behind her son and her daughter-in-law at the event that took place this Monday in the Danish parliament. A ceremony that was also attended by Prince Joaquín who, for the first time, stood next to his mother, although both were several steps behind King Frederick and Mary and Prince Christian. Being in the same rank, the new Queen Mary has no longer bowed to Queen Margaret in the first act in which they have coincided, after her abdication.
When twenty-four hours have not yet passed since her abdication, Margarita has already taken her new institutional position, behind the kings Frederick and Margarita and even her grandson, the crown prince Cristian and ahead of her second son, Joachim, and his sister Benedicta. By retaining the rank of queen she is entitled to the corresponding honors but she has lost those inherent to the head of state and as head of the Danish royal house. The protocol order within Denmark places her ahead of her little sister, Anna Maria of Greece, who also holds the title of queen as consort of the late King Constantine.
In the midst of the cold and snow, the first to arrive at the parliament building were Prince Joachim (whose wife Marie Chevalier was not present at the replacement ceremonies) and Princess Benedicta, middle sister of the previous queen. . Then Margarita arrived, dressed in a mink coat and matching hat, and the three of them waited for King Frederick and Mary, who arrived accompanied by Prince Christian. Unlike her mother-in-law, María, as she already did in her time as a princess, she does not wear furs in her appearances on the street, she usually wears cloth coats or, as in her two appearances as queen , suits. On the day of the proclamation she wore a white midi dress and this Monday, a Klein blue mido skirt suit and felt hat with feather decoration.
This Monday, at the headquarters of the Danish parliament, an institutional event was held in which the president of the chamber, Soren Gade, spoke and discussed the years of Margaret’s reign while acknowledging the surprise that the announcement brought him. of abdication, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also intervened, who on Sunday was in charge of making, from the Christiansborg balcony, the formal proclamation of Frederick X. The head of government thanked Margaret for her five decades of service to Denmark and he wished a good reign to Frederick X. The event ended with the nine cheers that mark the greeting to the king and a musical performance.
