King Charles and Queen Camilla have sent a message of congratulations to King Frederik X and Queen Mary upon their accession today.
The British King—who until today was Europe’s newest monarch—said that he and Queen Camilla “convey our very best wishes on the day of your accession to the throne of the Kingdom of Denmark.”
King Charles added that “I look forward to working with you on ensuring that the enduring bond between our countries, and our families, remains strong, and to working together with you on issues which matter so much for our countries and the wider world.”
Both kings are passionate about climate and the environment, as well as business and enterprise; while Queen Camilla and Queen Mary share women’s rights as a major part of their work.
Adding his message to the chorus congratulating Queen Margrethe on her 52-year reign, King Charles wrote: “I pay tribute to the many years of service of your mother, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II, and remember fondly the frequent visits between our countries, including our visit to Copenhagen and Elsinore in 2012.
“I was delighted that Your Majesties were able to attend our Coronation last year and I much look forward to future opportunities to celebrate the close connection that unites our countries and our families.”
King Charles III is descended from Queen Alexandra, who was born a princess of Denmark before she married Edward VII and became Queen.
