The first official photo of Denmark’s King Frederick and Queen Mary has been released.
King Frederik, 55, took the throne on Sunday after his mother Margrethe abdicated after 52 years as queen.
The regal portrait, posted on the Danish royal family’s Instagram page this morning, was taken from inside Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen.
The celebratory photo shows the royal couple (51) wearing formal regalia, and their four children: Crown Prince Christian (18), Princess Isabella (16), and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine (13). has appeared.
The scandal-plagued prince succeeded his 83-year-old mother’s incredible 50-year reign and became King of Denmark on January 14, 2024.
Amid a controversial year for the royal family, which has been plagued by deprivations and sordid rumors, Margrethe’s decision to abdicate the throne in honor of her eldest son surprised many.
This comes after an interview resurfaced revealing how Queen Mary barely met then-Crown Prince Frederik.
“I almost didn’t go that night,” she told Vogue magazine.
“The taxi arrived, so at the last minute I said, ‘Oh, I understand,’ and just got in.”
This interview was conducted in 2004 and was recently republished.
Mary and Frederick’s fairytale romance has come under scrutiny in recent weeks.
King Frederic has been under intense scrutiny since last year, when photos surfaced of the then-prince enjoying a night out in Madrid with Mexican socialite Genoveva Casanova.
A glamorous socialite, she vehemently denied claims of a romantic tryst with Frederick, even calling it “malicious.”
However, in newly released images, the monarchs can be seen smiling broadly at the camera with excitement, without showing any signs of sweat or adversity.
According to a translated statement accompanying the image, the portrait was taken shortly after the king’s accession to the throne. It read: “The Throne Room of Christiansborg Castle is the frame for the first official portrait of Their Majesties the King and Queen.”
“This portrait series was taken by photographer Dennis Stenild minutes after the King’s proclamation from the balcony of Tronsalen on the 14th. January 2024
“The royal couple is pictured with the Crown Prince, HRH the Crown Prince, HRH Princess Isabella, HRH Prince Vincent and HRH Princess Josephine.”
In the image, the king looked particularly elegant in his black royal robe and sky blue sash.
The ensemble also featured gold and red detailing, a stately gold medal and waist belt. He also posed with a sword held in his left hand.
Next to him stood his wife Queen Mary, looking stylish in a luxurious white dress.
She looked divine in the caped dress – it was a great choice that accentuated her slender figure.
The monarch accessorized with nude high-heeled pumps and gorgeous drop-down earrings encrusted with jewels.
Her brunette hair was pulled back into a neat bun, and her makeup sported a natural, dewy glow.
While the royal couple looked incredible, it was their eldest son, Crown Prince Christian, who stole the show.
The charming prince has caused a storm with his new status as one of Europe’s most eligible bachelors.
His model-like pose was perhaps the most eye-catching. Because he was taller than the rest of his family, especially his father.
He looked classy in a navy blue suit, crisp white shirt, gray tie, and black leather tie-up shoes.
The Australian-born eldest son of Queen Mary is now next in line to the Danish throne after his grandmother Queen Margrethe abdicated the throne five days ago.
The 18-year-old, who holds the title Crown Prince of Denmark, is thought to be the only bachelor royal with the prestigious position in all of Europe, meaning he attracts considerable attention in high society. ing.
