Mary exuded elegance wearing a white dress by Soeren Le Schmidt that featured dramatic draping around the neck for the historic occasion. The Queen joined Frederik on the balcony of Christiansborg Palace after the prime minister’s proclamation.
The new King spoke about his “beloved wife” in a speech following the proclamation. “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,” Frederik said in his remarks. “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.”
