Newly proclaimed Danish king Frederick X. who ascended the throne today due to the abdication of his mother Queen Margaret II. announced the motto of his reign.

Frederick X of Denmark and Queen Mary sealed the beginning of their new era with a public kiss

Unlike his predecessors, he did not mention the deity in the phrase that would accompany him on the throne and reflect the king’s values.

This is: “Connected, devoted to the kingdom of Denmark”.

His mother’s motto was: “God’s help, people’s love, Denmark’s strength.”

That of his grandfather Frederik IX was: “With God for Denmark.”

And that of his great-grandfather Cristiano X: “My God, my country, my honor.”

In the one about the first king who was named Frederick, the following was used: “Without God, nothing.”

But the first Danish king, Christian I, also began in a worldly way: “Virtue leads the way.”
