Congratulates the new King and Queen of Denmark
His Majesty King Harald extends his warmest congratulations to Their Majesties King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark.
Your Majesties,
Dear Frederik and Mary
My family and I wish to convey our warmest congratulations to you as Denmark’s new King and Queen.
You are succeeding a monarch who has fulfilled her function with exceptional commitment. Her Majesty Queen Margrethe has followed her country and her people through times of joy and sorrow with warmth, wisdom and dedication. For more than 50 years she has devoted herself to Denmark – with infectious humour accompanied by deep insight and knowledge. And with the staunch support of her immediate family. The close friendship between our two families means a great deal to all of us.
Now it is your turn to carry the legacy forward, and follow Denmark into a new age. I am confident that you will flourish in your new role.
My family and I hope and pray that you will be given the strength and support that you need to carry out your calling.
Harald R
