"Margrethe of Denmark's Strategic Abdication: Paving the Way for Her Daughter-in-Law to Become Queen"

Queen Margrethe II's abdication in favor of her son, King Frederik X, and daughter-in-law, Queen Mary, is seen by some as a strategic move to save the Danish monarchy amid rumors of an affair involving the King. The decision was announced in her New Year's Eve speech and came after the monarchy was rocked by pictures of the King with Genoveva Casanova in Madrid. Speculation suggests that the abdication was a form of damage control to shift focus from the affair rumors and to give Mary the status of Queen, potentially avoiding a royal divorce scandal. Despite potential tensions in Frederik and Mary's marriage, they have continued to put on a show of unity at recent events.
