This historic event drew massive crowds who came to celebrate the transition of the throne from a beloved monarch to her popular son. Margrethe, at the age of 83, made history as the first Danish monarch to voluntarily relinquish the throne in nearly 900 years. The palace was surrounded by thousands of people, creating an atmosphere of jubilation as Denmark experienced its first royal succession in over half a century, and notably, one that did not result from the death of a monarch. detdanskekongehus📸 DR
