Islamabad: Ambassador of Denmark to Pakistan Lis Rosenholm this week celebrated the birthday of HM Queen Margrethe ll.
:It’s 82 years since HM Queen Margrethe ll was born. This year, the Queen is celebrating her birthday in Aarhus at Marselisborg Palace accompanied by the Royal family. Square outside the Palace is filled with visitors wishing her a very happy birthday ,” Ambassador Lis Rosenholm tweeted.
This year, Queen Margrethe also celebrated her 50th anniversary as Denmark’s regent.
On Tuesday 16 April 1940, Princess Margrethe Alexandrine Þórhildur Ingrid was born as the firstborn child of Crown Princess Ingrid and Crown Prince Frederik, the later Frederik IX, King of Denmark.
Already the day after the event, the inhabitants of Sorø County and the surrounding area could enjoy a tribute poem to the little new princess. The poem was signed CH, probably a journalist on the editorial board with a poetic vein. Maybe you know who is hiding behind the two letters?
When Princess Margrethe II was still just a young girl, the law of succession to the throne is changed. This means that it is no longer only men who can inherit the throne. Princess Margrethe II thus became the official heir to the throne after her father, King Frederik IX.
On 5 June, 1953, a new constitution came into effect, where the Succession Act was also amended. Now it became possible for princesses to inherit the Danish throne – at least if the regent had no sons, and Margrethe’s father, Frederik IX, did not. Princess Margrethe became Crown Princess Margrethe.
With the King’s Confirmation, the new Constitution and the Amendment to the Succession Act entered into Effect immediately, after which Princess Margrethe became the first Heir to the Throne, as does the new Election Law with 23-year Voting Age and a Parliament of 179 members.
There was public celebration when Princess Margrethe married her French Count Henri. The Southern Jutlanders also followed the wedding closely. Not least because of the ties that the royal family’s annual summer stay at Gråsten created.
