At 83 years old Margrethe II of Denmark he surprisingly abdicated after 52 years on the throne. The announcement came in the traditional end of year speech. Margrethe II, who after the death of Elizabeth II held two records – Europe's longest-serving head of state as well as the world's longest-serving queen – he will leave the crown to his eldest son Frederick55 years old, who has been talked about a lot in recent days for a alleged betrayal (with former model Genoveva Casanova) to his wife Mary with whom he had four children: Christian, Isabellaand the twins Josephine and Vincent.
«January 14, 202452 years after succeeding my beloved father, I will resign as Queen of Denmark. I will leave the throne to my son, the crown prince Frederik», said Margrethe during her New Year's speech. Explaining that what is important also has something to do with his decision back surgerysuffered last February, which prevented her from appearing in public until April: «The operation sparked thoughts about the futurethat the time had come to pass on responsibilities to the next generation.”
For the sovereign, 2023 – despite the health problems – was not an easy year, marked by the controversy following her decision to remove the titles of Royal Highnesses from four of her grandchildren. To be precise, to the children of his second son Joachim: Nikolai, Felix, Enrik And Athena, all “downgraded” to accounts. The sovereign's choice created a serious rift within the Danish royal family, so much so that Joachim himself expressed his disappointment in public: “It's never fun to see your children mistreated like that. They themselves find themselves in a situation they don't understand.”
After his son's public outburst, the sovereign, widowed since 2018, reiterated her decision with a statement in which he explained that it was a move “necessary to save the future of the monarchy”. Now, again for the future of the monarchy, Margrethe II, the first Danish sovereign since Margrethe I (1375-1412), has decided to go into “retirement”.
