    How cynical to say that the Danish Queen abdicated to save her sons marriage. She looked quite frail during her new year address to her people. I think she may be ill and after 52 years she deserves to relax.

But I don't think we have seen the last of her. She will have her own court and she will still be Queen of Denmark. Do yes we will have 2 Queens, one the retired Monarch and the Queen Consort.

She is old, tired and in pain, and now that Christian is 18, Frederick has a viable heir himself. If something happens to him, there's no need of regency.

    As a Dane I can say that the whole nation went into chock 😯 when our queen announced that she will be stepping down in a fourtnight. It was a complete surprice and it was really fun to watch the clips that our National Television showed of peoples reaction around the country, when they heard the news. . Did she decide to step down because af some dubious rumours of en alleged affair? No she did not. In the hindsight you can see that she has been preparing for some time. She simply realized that she is getting old .That younger forces are needed. She told the backsurgery in the beginning of 2023 was the turning point.but it seems like it started before.that point. Most of us Danes think it is a strong and wise decision and shows her sense of mooving forward with the modern times. Lets be honest it is about time that our Crown Prince and Crown Princess get to step up as King and Queen. They are more than ready for the task. So Happy New Year and good luck to our soon to be King and Queen.of Denmark and Thank You to our Queen Margrethe, who has done a great job.

He is a very intelligent man, and do you honestly think, that he would be seen in public with - and enter & leave the apartment of a lady - if there was ANYTHING to that story?? I've known him since he was born and I can tell you that he would NOT be that stupid!! Although it came as a shock to all Danes, Queen Margrethe II has abdicated because her health is declining. She underwent a severe operation in her lower back in summer of 2023 and though she has recovered very well there are very few royals to help her in her work as Monarch, so she said that she felt she could not do her job 100 %. I know my Queen. She is perfectionist, so it makes sense for her to step down. It has NOTHING to do with Crown Prince Frederik's alleged affair!

Frederik is still smitten with Mary (and the other way around) and would NEVER cheat on her!

The 12 million pounds or whatever Andrew paid Virginia Giuffree is strange in itself however it still doesn't make him guilty this is circumstantial. It does raise questions though as to why he wanted Virginia Giuffre to go away and paid her off such a hefty sum. And what about the other famous people on the list such as allegedly Gates, Clinton etc? It's only fair they are given the same level of scrutiny as Andrew or maybe it's because they have already paid more than 12 million pounds to pay off Virginia Giuffre.

Do not accuse anything against the queen her royal majesty. She is a good, gracious queen of the kingdom of Denmark like her cousin Queen Elizabeth of England.

    Oh, please! That's a stretch! To cover up an affair? Bull! This is just gossip being pulled out of a hat to grasp at straws! Jenny seems to be buying-into petty tabloidesque thoughts and delusions, lately. Not a good look! People in high enough positions don't just quit because something is uncomfortable. She's been Queen long enough to know how to handle scandal. She's also been Queen long enough to know if shes been Queen long enough. Tradition has always been 'til death', but she's always been a little non-traditional, and making changes she feels are necessary. Heaven forbid she's just tired and wants to give her heir a chance before he gets too old!

    An abdication probably has been in the works for a long time, not an all of a sudden decision. How in the world would her abdicating cover up an alleged affair of her son's? In fact with him being king it would just encourage gossip mongers such as this " female reporter" to spread more rumors about a king rather than just a crown prince. Queen Margrethe abdicating would only fan the flames rather than cover up an affair. I really don't care if he had an affair or not. He probably just used bad judgement as they did not seem to cover up at all him being with the woman for dinner and stopping by her apartment before he caught a flight somewhere. So what? This is between him and his wife, not this gossipy reporter or the public.

    The British Monarchy do not abdicate after the official coronation and the *anoiting* (remember, Edward VIII was not crowned/anointed) but the other European Monarchies are not anointed. It goes with the title "Defender of the Faith", and signifies a pact with God to serve that is only broken by death. If the Monarch is not able to fulfill their duties, they can call on the Councillors of State, or King Charles - for example - could appoint Prince William as his Regent. God save the King!

It stops exploitation of the titles like what harry & meghan have been doing for the last 4yrs.

    Lots of Royal visits are just turn up no behind the scenes work, yes William and Catherine have not done as many but there is a lot of research and office work they are doing, Catherine's early childhood work takes research and contacting organisations, big companies want to deal with Catherine herself not the office staff, same with Williams Earthshot prize and his new homelessness work, yes office staff can do do much but at the end of the day, once again big business and the people donating large sums of money want to speak to William. I think a program following William and Catherine around for a week could be interesting, not just their public work but the behind the scenes stuff, so people will stop calling them lazy. Though it was agreed with the late Queen and Charles that William and Catherine would have a lighter work load so they had some time being proper parents, the Queen recognised that her children were left to Nannies to often, and Charles recognised he should have spent more time with his boys, so they wanted William and Catherine time to be better parents. I do believe they thought that when this was thought up it would be William and Catherine with Harry and whoever he chose would share the workload between them , which would mean the Wales possibly doing a little less than they are doing at present. One also assumes that William is learning the ropes by getting duplicate copies of the red boxes his father gets everyday, so he is kept up to date with what is going on, we will most certainly see William and Catherine doing more and more as the children get older, just as we are now seeing Edward and Sophie doing more now their children are older.

Queen M’s back-issues, are far more serious than we know. The way she walked at the “Nytårskuren”, dragging her left leg behind her, shows that she is far from over it and she probably never will. And then she would like to see and support her son as King. It makes it at Happy occasion instead of like i Britain with death and sadness.

    The woman is 82 for haven's sake! At her age nobody needs any reason to decide on anything. When you are that age you just want to be left alone with expectations of others, especially in politics. Bla, bla, bla.

    This is utter crap. There is no way Queen Margarette is abdicating because of any unproven affair. The fact he was so open when he could've been covert...would suggest he had nothing to hide. The Queen brought this to the attention of the Parkiament a year ago...she's removed titles etc during the year in preparation for this. She's 80 years old , suffering ill health...etc. She knows Frederik and Mary are popular with the public too, and wants to let them get on with her slimmed down Monarchy and for their son Christian to be next King.

    Hardly representative of the country, but I have some family in Denmark, and most Danish people and the press don't seem to care about the Crown Prince's alleged affair.

    Of course we would care, if we believed that story. Mary is very well liked and respected. But they have seemed close and in love since they were married, and I don’t believe he would ever jeopardize what he has built with her.

    You don’t care because the alleged affair isn’t true

    I'm not following the logic. Wouldn't an heir to the throne's alleged infidelity be a reason for the reigning monarch NOT to abdicate?

    I don't think that she would make the great step of abdicating to 'cover an affair' that may not exist, or if it did, has already been made public! I believe that after having back surgery the Queen is in quite a bit of pain, and has considered what is best for herself and her country, now a Coronation and transition is planned, no surprises.
