After the numerous criticisms they have received during their new reign, the kings of Denmark, Frederick and Mary, wanted to give their first interview to tell how they are experiencing these first months on the throne. “Sometimes it has been overwhelming,” they confess on board … d the royal ship Dannebrog, a vessel that has served as a metaphor to explain what their new position entails. “It is a great pleasure to come aboard Dannebrog. It is something very special and fills me with pride. It is the first time I am on board as king and with my wife, the queen. It is our first time as a reigning couple and that symbolism seems very beautiful to me,” they say. «We are on the king’s ship. “Now I am the one in charge,” says the monarch.
“We haven’t set a fixed route, but we have set a good direction,” says Mary. «We will continue the path we have traced with our interest in nature, communities and business. We also want to be a royal couple visible and present throughout Denmark », she emphasizes. A statement that responds to the accusations of absence that have been made against them in recent months since, since taking over from their mother, Queen Margaret, the royal family has taken vacations on two occasions, which sparked numerous criticisms. In fact, the country’s press even called the royal couple “inaccessible” and said that she was “hidden in her castle.”
«Regardless of whether we already know how everything works, there are still many new things such as leading a Government council, certain audiences or receptions for ambassadors. You know it’s part of the job, but it’s new to me,” explains the king. Something that his wife confirms, pointing out that “at times it has been overwhelming. There have been many changes and many decisions, both big and small, had to be made. “Not everything can happen in an instant,” he argues.
Regarding how they experienced the moment of the coronation, both remember it with affection and responsibility. «It was very overwhelming and moving. “I felt very well received,” says the king of the Danes. “The highlight was when Mary and the children came out and stood right behind me and the Danes stood in front of me and greeted me. “It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.”
A snapshot that Queen Mary also remembers with special affection: «I was with the children when you went out onto the balcony towards your destination, it was a moment that moved me very much. We could hear it and feel it, even if we couldn’t see it. It was a beautiful moment. “I felt very happy and very proud.” An especially significant assertion that aims to dispel any type of doubt about the solidity of the royal marriage that was called into question when the photographs of Federico de Denmark walking through Madrid with Genoveva Casanova came to light. Quite a declaration of intentions that wants to make clear the solidity of the couple, but also of the monarchy.
