The fairy tale rise of an Australian sales executive to the upper ranks of European royalty is set to be completed later this month when Crown Princess Mary Elizabeth of Denmark becomes the country’s Queen Consort.
The final stretch of Mary’s path from Tasmania to the Danish throne was cleared on New Year’s Eve by the surprise abdication of Queen Margrethe II, who announced that she will be stepping down on January 14.
It’s an exceedingly rare move in Denmark, where a monarch hasn’t abdicated since 1146 when King Eric III gave up the crown to join a monastery, according to the Royal House.
It’s 2024 and we’re still doing king and queen stuff apparently
And trying to bring it back. USA is racing toward king Trump the first.
USA can only have one king - Charles III. Make America Great Britain Again!!!
Wow wee! Some family was able to retain power for centuries while stepping on the backs of the proletariat?!?!??
