His grandson crown prince Frederik will be King Frederik X the 14th of January, when he takes over after Queen Margrethe II on the 52nd anniversary of her crowning.
King Frederik X like his grandfathers king Christian X and king Frederik IX is a real badass, he is a Navy Seal, the toughest military education we have, and he has a degree in political science. He and his wife Mary who will be queen are very well liked in Denmark. en.wikipedia.org/…/Frederik,_Crown_Prince_of_Denm…
This makes so much more sense than my first impression that this photo was the successor. First thought was damn, he’s a grown ass man 70 years ago how old is he today??
The Crown Prince Frederik (linked above) who will be king Frederik X in a few days is 55.
The OP picture is of King Frederik IX died May 14th in 1972 aged 72, and his daughter became Queen of Denmark Margrethe II on that day.
The Queen is now passing on the reign to her son on the same date after having served as Queen for 52 years.
I don’t have a bellybutton, because I was born with my guts the wrong way around and they used my navel for the incision when they operated on it. So I do have a scar in the same place, but not a traditional one. You can imagine the kinds of moments when people notice, and it’s never when I’m in the mood to talk about it, of course.
