Denmark's Queen Margrethe II held her final royal commitment as a Queen on Monday before her abdication.

The Queen received more than 80 persons at the Danish Royal House who thanked her for her commitment and efforts during her reign.

She is now getting ready for the abdication which will take place on Sunday when her son succeeds the throne.

Last week, the Danish Royal Court announced the new titles and changes of the court after Queen Margrethe II's abdication.

The major title changes are dedicated to Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary, and Prince Christian.

Courtiers confirmed that Queen Margrethe’s eldest son and the crown prince will be known as King Frederik X, and his wife will be known as Queen Mary.

The court said in a statement: “On Sunday, 14 January 2024, HRH The Crown Prince assumes the Danish throne as HM King Frederik the 10th. At the same time, HRH The Crown Princess will be known as HM Queen Mary,” adding: “The Royal Couple will henceforth bear the title The King and The Queen of Denmark.”

“HRH Prince Christian becomes the heir to the throne and will henceforth be referred to as HRH Crown Prince Christian."

Finally, the statement said: “After the succession to the throne, HM The Queen will continue to be Majesty and bear the title HM Queen Margrethe."
