On January 14th, 2024 Queen Margrethe of Denmark, the second longest reigning monarch in Danish history and the last remaining female monarch in the world abdicated. She handed the throne to her son who is now King Frederik X. Let’s take a look at the history of this small but happy Scandinavian country. And met the most significant rulers of Europe’s oldest monarchy. Along the way, we’ll see when their crown jewels were crafted, and how their how their coronation rituals changed. Finally we’ll cover how the succession of King Frederik X and Queen Mary was just celebrated. Despite many news outlets calling this a coronation, it was actually a succession and proclamation. Because crowns were not ritualistically placed on anyone’s head. Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
