Margrethe's abdicated, Charles has got cancer, Louis and Scarlett-Lauren are possibly back together. It's like the universe is picking out events for 2024 by wildly throwing darts at a dart board. Wait for *throws dart* Silvia and Carl Gustaf to *throws dart* announce they're adopting a baby.

Tiaras of the future Queen Mary

I love a good list and @duchessofostergotlands requested one of the tiaras that Mary will wear as queen. As usual I had a lot to say.

Crown Jewels

Queen Caroline Amelie's Emerald Tiara

Denmark is unusual among modern monarchies in that they still have wearable jewelry in their crown jewels. There is a diamond set, a pearl and ruby set, and of course the beautiful emerald parure. This tiara cannot be taken outside of Denmark and is only worn by the queen. I really hope Mary wears it for her first official portrait as queen.

Major Tiaras: Non-Restricted

Princess Louise's Pearl Poiré Tiara

This tiara has only been worn by Queen Margrethe during her reign but previously was worn by crown princesses and princesses. It is a very important tiara but I wouldn't mind Queen Mary loaning this one occasionally to other people like Christian's future wife.

Queen Désirée's Ruby Parure Tiara

Queen Ingrid kept this tiara even after her husband passed and then left it to Crown Prince Frederik for his future wife so it was never worn by Queen Margrethe. I expect Crown Princes Mary will continue wearing this tiara for now as the parure was extensively remodeled to suit her. When Christian marries, she may decide to pass it on to his wife establishing it as the de facto crown princess tiara, keep wearing it herself, or ideally keep wearing it while also loaning it the future crown princess.

Minor Tiaras

We don't yet know how Queen Margrethe will handle passing on her jewelry. In other countries with recent abdications, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands still attends tiara events but Queen Paola of Belgium and Queen Sofia of Spain do not. If Margrethe decides to keep attending them she may hold on to some of these for a while.

Grand Duchess Louise of Baden's Palmette Tiara

This isn't my favorite tiara in the Danish vault because of the way it ends so abruptly instead of tapering off. Queen Mary's going to have to pull off some great tiara hair to cover that up.

Crown Princess Margaret's Turquoise Daisy Tiara

Queen Mary looks good in turquoise but I'm really looking forward to seeing this tiara on Princess Isabella and Princess Josephine.

Queen Ingrid's Floral Aigrette Tiara

I've loved the way Queen Margrethe played around with this tiara but I am looking forward to Queen Mary putting it back on a tiara frame like Queen Ingrid wore it.

Queen Margrethe's Naasut Tiara

Queen Margrethe was given this tiara by Greenland in 2012 and I have been waiting for day it is worn by Queen Mary. I think the delicate gold flowers are really going to look great against her dark hair.

Personal Tiaras

Wedding Tiara

Queen Margrethe gave this tiara to Crown Princess Mary as a wedding gift and Mary later had optional pearls added.

Ruby & Spinel Necklace Tiara

Mary bought herself this tiara at an auction and debuted it 2015. I think it was a very smart move because it was only 8050 EUR (probably less than some of her gowns) and it will be a great piece for her children to wear in the future.

Every country and monarch handles jewelry a little differently. Queen Margrethe gave each of her daughters-in-law a tiara but did not share any of her tiaras with them. She did share with her nieces (the daughters of her two sisters) when her sisters didn't have enough tiaras to loan them for events. I would like to see the future King Frederik X and Queen Mary change how the jewelry is dispersed.

First of all they need to stop giving away jewelry. The mainline has already lost the Queen Alexandrine's Diamond Drop Tiara to the Countess of Frederiksborg and Princess Dagmar's Diamond Floral Tiara to Princess Marie. Those are both beautiful, versatile tiaras that would have served the family well in the future. In the previous generation, Princess Benedikte was given Queen Sofia's Star & Pearl Tiara and her Floral Birthday Tiara made from other jewelry and Queen Anne Marie was given Crown Princess Margaret's Khedive Tiara and her Antique Corsage Tiara made from other jewelry. There's no reason to give away tiaras anymore to people whose descendants will have little reason to wear them.

Then to make up for not giving away any jewelry there needs to be more sharing! I don't want to see the same person wear the same tiara to every event. Queen Mary will have the Emerald Tiara exclusively and then may choose to keep the Pearl Poiré Tiara and Ruby Parure Tiara to herself but everything else should be shared among her daughters, daughters-in-law, and other members of the extended Danish Royal Family. It would make things so much more interesting.

Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has chosen to abdicate from the Danish throne the 14th of January, after 52 years on the throne.

She told the whole kingdom of Denmark, and the rest of the world, live on television during her new year speech to the people.

There has not been a voluntary abdication in Denmark since the early medieval times (1100-1200)

The Queen has always said that she will sit on the throne until her last breath, which is why her abdication comes as a surprise to everyone.

Her son Crown Prince Frederik and his wife Crown Princess Mary will take over as King Frederik X and Queen Mary.

Thank you, your majesty, for all you have done for us and how you have always shown your love and respect to the Danish people. We look forward to seeing you hopefully enjoy your abdication and hopefully we will still see more of your incredible creative mind . We have trust in our new King and Queen as we already know that you have prepared them well for their new job.

Thank you ❤️

The change of throne has taken place.

Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II has today, 14 January 2024, signed a declaration of her abdication in the Council of State. It happened in the presence of the future king, the future heir to the throne and the government as well as the cabinet secretary.

According to the Succession to the Throne Act, His Majesty King Frederik X is now King of Denmark and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Christian is the new heir to the throne.

📸 The portrait was taken by Dennis Stenild shortly before His Majesty the King (as Crown Prince) drove from Amalienborg to Christiansborg Castle.

Our queen is stepping down and letting her son take over. So the national tv has been nothing but celebration of her and her life.

Countless of people telling stories about meeting their queen and how much it ment to them.

So different from England and the discussion about how much money the coronation cost when people are living in poverty.

Perhaps because the danish royal family is extremely popular and perhaps because we don’t actually get a coronation.

The prime minister will announce the new king from the balcony of parliament and that’s pretty much it. So everyone is making their own party.

So wierd by the way to have a king. It has been a queen for the past 52 years.

Denmark

I've gotten a couple of anons asking if I've heard anything about Denmark's Queen Margrethe's abdication.

I haven't heard anything specifically. A couple of rumors popped up recently but I never paid attention to them. I'll share them below, but take these with some salt and remember, they're unsubstantiated and this is just internet gossip for entertainment purposes.

Rumor #1: Queen Margrethe is ill and her condition is worse than believed - she has lung cancer, which is advanced enough that treatment isn't working as hoped. She is abdicating to avoid a regency that would have been triggered under an agreement she made with Frederik some time ago.

Rumor #2: To mitigate further fallout and consequences from Frederik's affair(s).

(IMO, Fred's affairs wouldn't be so consequential that his mother would need to abdicate - if anything, he would be the one abdicating. So I think this one is far-fetched, but I can see Mary threatening to leave Frederik unless she got something in return and that could have been part of the abdication decision to do it now vs waiting.)

Again, this is just internet gossip and very unsubstantiated rumors.

What I think might be true, and time will perhaps confirm, is that Queen Margrethe's decision to abdicate happened earlier this month. Remember, Mary was awfully emotional about returning to Australia a few weeks ago. At the time, general speculation was that it was about the affair (since Frederik didn't travel with his family) but now I wonder if it's because of the abdication discussions and what that means for how Mary is able to return/travel to Australia in the future. (And I wonder now if Frederik traveling separately from his family has to do with protecting the line of succession. Again, I'm not familiar with the Danish Royal Family so I don't know their protocols.)

Edit: It seems people are interpreting one of my comments to mean that I think Mary issued an ultimatum to be queen, hence the abdication. That is not what I meant. What I meant is discussed here.

This would never happen in my Sims royal family

In anticipation of the changing of the throne in Denmark on Sunday, I recommend watching De Kongelige Juveler. The documentary on Scandinavian royal jewel was made in 2011 by Nordisk and aired on DR.

The narration is in Danish but the interviews are in English. It features with Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, Queen Silvia of Sweden, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Prince Henrik of Denmark, Princess Benedikte of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, and Prince Michael of Greece.

And it's the origin of my favorite Queen Margrethe II quote, "We don't count the carats, we count the centuries." I mean how great is that?
