Queen Margrethe of Denmark has announced her abdication, a move not seen in over 500 years, to pass the throne to her son, Crown Prince Frederik, amid rumors of his marital issues. This decision has sparked speculation about the future of the Danish monarchy and comparisons to the British royal family, with some suggesting that the new responsibilities could help mend Frederik's marriage to Crown Princess Mary.
