Mary of Denmark and King Frederik, the kiss that gives birth to their kingdom (and removes the rumors of crisis)

Mary of Denmark and King FrederikFrederik of Denmark he asked Queen Mary, “my beloved wife”, for “all possible support” in her new role as monarch. In his first words as king, pronounced from the balcony of Christianborg Palace in front of a square packed with Danes excited about the succession to the throne. At the end, the new queen, whom she seemed to allude to in the motto of her reign—”United, committed to the Kingdom of Denmark”—came out onto the balcony to accompany him and greet the Danes.

Frederik X immediately held his wife's hand. At one point, Mary approached Frederik, perhaps thinking of kissing him as the most affectionate and intimate way (despite the crowd) to congratulate him on his promotion. But the couple's children and Mary and have arrived Frederik they left each other's hands to pay attention to them too, to the Crown Prince Christianto the twins Josephine And Vincent and to the princess Isabel, dressed in red. She was also kind enough to wear part of the Bernadotte set of rubies and diamonds, a gift from Queen Ingrid to Frederik for her.

When the couple's four children returned to the palace, the newly proclaimed royals were once again alone and it was there that, once again holding hands and after saying something to each other with complicit smiles – perhaps we have already kissed – they kissed.

The audience clapped and cheered even louder. With Mary of Denmark dressed in white, with a dress sewn by the same seamstress who made her wedding dress, the scene was reminiscent of the day in which the Australian lawyer became a princess and kissed her and her prince from the balcony of the building. On May 14, when they will have been on the throne for four months, they will celebrate 20 years of marriage.
