It’s a momentous and glorious day in the lives of the citizens of Denmark. The entire city gathered around the parliament building, Christiansborg Castle, in Copenhagen in numbers to celebrate the coronation of their new king. Frederik X became the newest king of the oldest monarchies in the world, Denmark. Haas’s Danish man Kevin Magnussen also joined the millions congratulating the king as he celebrated the coronation on his Instagram story with an F1-themed message.

Frederik X became the King after succeeding his mother Queen Margrethe II to the throne, who formally abdicated after 52 years as monarch. Margrethe, 83, stunned the nation when she announced her desire to relinquish the throne on New Year’s Eve. She became the first Danish monarch in nearly 900 years to renounce the throne voluntarily, as reported by MSN.

After the formalization of the succession, the former queen left the throne, gestured to her son, the new king, to come and take the seat, and said, “God save the King” before leaving the room. Denmark doesn’t do coronations, but the new king made an appearance on the parliament building’s balcony with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

Frederiksen proclaimed Frederik X as the new king with the words, “Long live his majesty King Frederik the 10th”. The PM’s statement was followed by Frederik X’s first words as king. “My hope is to become a unifying king of tomorrow. It is a task I have approached all my life. It is a task I take on with pride, respect, and joy,” he said before planting a kiss on his wife, now Queen, Mary’s lips.
