In Denmark they don’t eat the 12 grapes but this past New Year’s Eve they did eat a piece of news that, at first, seemed like a joke to many: Queen Margaret, 83, unexpectedly announced her abdication. A decision that He will make his son Federico king, starting next January 14.

Federico, 55 years old and will reign under the name of Frederick, has never had it on his wish list to become the monarch of the Danes. In fact, probably He is the European heir who has most opposed the destiny that befell him by birth. From a very young age he has rebelled against tradition and impositions… to the displeasure of his mother, who insisted and fought so that the prince did not deviate from the established path.

Because The future king has always liked rock, techno music (he has even tried his hand as a disc jockey), heextreme sports and speed: Federico likes motorcycles so much that he is even known as “the turbo prince.” But if there is something that has always bothered his mother, it has been loving personality of her son, who has accumulated a long list of achievements in the modeling industry.

Margaret of Denmark was so tired of the inappropriate relationships in Frederick’s royal culture that she decided to cut it short and send him to study Political Science at Harvard University in the United States.

However, in Denmark it is said that what really reformed Prince Frederic was aAustralian lawyer he met during the Sydney Olympics, Mary Donaldson. After publicly stating that he fell head over heels in love with the future queen consort, they got married. They have had 4 children, which they have taken to public schools.

In the end, Federico has assumed his destiny but is willing to reign as the modern man that he is and that has been demonstrated in recent years. Because The future king of the Danes is a man aware of climate change, who celebrates his birthdays by running marathons throughout the country and who intends to modernize the crown that he never wanted to wear.
