First official portraits of King Frederick’s family appeared online

The photos were taken in the throne room at Christiansborg Palace by Dennis Stenild. This room borders the balcony where King Frederik was proclaimed.

Frederik X ascended to the throne on January 14, 2024 after his mother, Queen Margrethe, signed her abdication declaration during a Council of State meeting at Christiansborg Palace.

In a speech following the prime minister’s proclamation, the King said (translated to English):

Today, the throne passes on. My hope is to become a gathering king of tomorrow. It is a task I have approached all my life. It is a responsibility I take on with respect, pride and great joy. It is a deed I will make an effort to carry through the trust I encounter. I need all the support I can get. From my beloved wife, from my family, from you and from that which is greater than us. I face the future with the certainty that I am not alone.

Queen Mary and Frederik—who share four kids, Crown Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine—will celebrate 20 years of marriage on May 14, 2024.
