"Danish King Frederik X's Unconventional Reign: From Accession Portraits to Surprise Book Release"

King Frederik X ascended to the Danish throne after his mother, Queen Margrethe, abdicated, and official portraits of the royal family were released, including the new monarch, his wife Queen Mary, and their four children. Unlike in the UK, there was no official coronation ceremony, and the proclamation took place from a balcony, followed by a speech from the new king expressing his commitment to unifying the kingdom.
