    Frederik X (Frederik André Henrik Christian; born 26 May 1968) is King of Denmark. He acceded to the throne following his mother's abdication on 14 January 2024.[3] [4]

    Frederik is the elder son of Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik. He was born during the reign of his maternal grandfather, King Frederik IX, and became Crown Prince of Denmark following his mother's accession in 1972. He was educated privately at home and at Krebs School, École des Roches and Øregård Gymnasium. He earned a Master of Science degree in political science from Aarhus University. After university, he served in diplomatic posts at the United Nations and in Paris. He has trained in all three branches of the Danish Armed Forces.

    Frederik met Australian marketing consultant Mary Donaldson while attending the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. They married on 14 May 2004 at Copenhagen Cathedral. They have four children: Christian, Isabella, Vincent and Josephine.

    Early life and education

    Frederik was born by emergency caesarean section at Rigshospitalet, the Copenhagen University Hospital in Copenhagen, on 26 May 1968 at 23:50[5] to the then Princess Margrethe, oldest daughter of Frederik IX and heir presumptive to the Danish throne, and Prince Henrik. At the time of his birth, his maternal grandfather was on the throne of Denmark and his matrilineal great-grandfather, Gustaf VI Adolf, was on the throne of Sweden.[6] [7]

    He was baptised on 24 June 1968, at Holmen Church, in Copenhagen.[8] He was named Frederik after his maternal grandfather, King Frederik IX, continuing the Danish royal tradition of the heir apparent being named either Frederik or Christian. He became Crown Prince of Denmark when his mother ascended to the throne as Margrethe II on 14 January 1972. Frederik's only sibling is Prince Joachim of Denmark.[9]

    Frederik attended primary school at Krebs' Skole between 1974 and 1981, as a private pupil at Amalienborg Palace from 1974 to 1976, and from the third form again at Krebs' Skole.[10] From 1982 to 1983, he attended the, a boarding school in Normandy, France. In 1986, Frederik graduated from Øregård Gymnasium. In addition to Danish, he is fluent in French (his father's language), English, and German.[11]

    In the autumn of 1989, Frederik began studying political science at Aarhus University. As part of his education, he spent the 1992–1993 academic year at Harvard University, where he studied political science under the name Frederik Henriksen. Whilst at Harvard, he participated in the Phoenix – SK Club, and lived in a rent-controlled apartment.[12] Frederik is the first Danish royal to complete a university education.[11]

    Early career

    Frederik took up a position for three months with the Danish UN mission in New York in 1994.[13] In 1995, he obtained his MSc degree in political science from Aarhus University. He completed the course in the prescribed number of years with an exam result above average, thus becoming the first royal to obtain a master's degree. His final paper was an analysis on the foreign policy of the Baltic States, which he had visited several times during his studies.[14] [15] The prince was posted as First Secretary to the Danish Embassy in Paris from October 1998 to October 1999.[16] [17]

    Military service

    Frederik has completed extensive military studies and training in all three services, including training as a frogman in the naval elite special operations forces Frømandskorpset. It was there that he earned the nickname "Pingo", when his wetsuit filled with water and he was forced to waddle like a penguin.[18]

    In 2001 and 2002, he completed further leadership training at the Royal Danish Defence College. Frederik remained active in the defence services, and in the period 2002–2003 served as a staff officer at Defence Command Denmark, and from 2003 as a senior lecturer with the Institute of Strategy at the Royal Danish Defence College.[19] [20] [21]

    Marriage and children

    During a Council of State on 8 October 2003, Queen Margrethe gave her consent to the marriage of Crown Prince Frederik to Mary Elizabeth Donaldson, an Australian marketing consultant whom the prince had met while attending the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Their wedding took place on 14 May 2004 at Copenhagen Cathedral, Copenhagen.

    The couple have four children: Christian (born 15 October 2005), Isabella (born 21 April 2007) and twins Vincent and Josephine (born 8 January 2011).

    Reign

    Queen Margrethe II announced her abdication during her annual live broadcast New Year's Eve address on 31 December 2023. Frederik succeeded her as King of Denmark during a Council of State on 14 January 2024 during which Margrethe officially signed a declaration of her abdication.[22]

    After succeeding to the throne, he was proclaimed king from the balcony of Christiansborg Palace by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen as has been the custom for Danish monarchs since the introduction of the constitutional monarchy in 1849. His motto is "Forbundne, forpligtet, for Kongeriget Danmark" (English: "United, committed, for the Kingdom of Denmark"), the first motto that does not mention God since Frederik VII.[23]

    On 15 January, the royal family appeared in Parliament for a ceremony marking the change of monarch.[24] On 21 January, the royal family attended a celebratory church service at Aarhus Cathedral, led by the Bishop of Aarhus and Royal Chaplain-in-Ordinary, Henrik Wigh-Poulsen.[25]

    On 31 January 2024, the new king visited Poland in his first overseas trip as monarch where he was received by president Andrzej Duda. Danish monarchs traditionally travel first to another Scandinavian country, but Frederik had planned the trip prior to Margrethe's abdication.[26]

    The King and Queen made their first state visits in May 2024, visiting Sweden and Norway. In June, they toured the autonomous territories of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.[27] [28] [29]

    Personal interests

    Scientific research, climate change and sustainability

    Frederik has a special interest in scientific research, climate change, and sustainability.[30] For his commitment to sustainability, he was interviewed by the Financial Times and CNN International's Future Cities program.[31] [32] He participated in expeditions, forums and events on climate.[31] [33] [34] [35] The prince has represented Denmark as a promoter of sustainable Danish energy.[36] [37] [38] The prince was one of the authors of the Kongelig Polartokt (Polar Cruise Royal), about the challenges of climate, published in 2009 with a preface written by Kofi Annan.[39] [40] [41] In 2010, he wrote the foreword to the highschool textbook Naturen og klimaændringerne i Nordøstgrønland (Nature and climate change in Northeast Greenland).[42] He supports scientific research projects, as a patron, as expeditionary, with regular attendance at events and through his foundation, Kronprins Frederiks Fond.

    Sports and health

    The King encourages Danish participation in sports.[43] He is a patron and honorary member of various sports organizations,[44] [45] [46] [47] and a former member of the International Olympic Committee.[48] He also promotes an active lifestyle in society.[49] [50] [51]

    Frederik is an avid sportsman,[52] running marathons in Copenhagen, New York, and Paris, and completing the 42 kilometers with a respectable time of 3 hours, 22 minutes and 50 seconds in the Copenhagen Marathon.[53] In 2013, he completed the KMD Ironman Copenhagen in the time of 10:45:32 and is the first royal person to complete an Ironman.[54]

    Frederik is a keen sailor, being a competitive Farr 40 skipper as well as an accomplished Dragon boater.[55] At the 2003 Dragon European Championship, where 51 boats participated, the Prince and his crew had been leading after four out of six races; they finished in fourth place. At the 2008 Farr 40 World Championship with 33 boats participating, Frederik and his crew also took fourth place.[56] [57] He was the first in his class boat in Fyn Cup 2010 in Denmark,[58] [59] [60] and number 4 in the 2011 Danish Dragon Championship with 25 boats participating.[61] [62]

    In 2016, on the subject of the Olympics in Rio, Frederik told the press that he did not regret not chasing his dream to compete in the Olympics after meeting his wife. He had always thought about training and competing, but that would have required him to limit his activities and concentrate on training, instead, he put his energy into other aspects of life.[63] In October 2016, Frederik had to cancel his appearance at the royal reception for the Danish Olympic and Paralympic athletes after he fractured his spine while jumping on a trampoline with his eldest son.[64]

    Frederik also took part in the relay event during the 2019 IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Aarhus in March 2019.[65]

    Frederik has competed in cross-country skiing; he skied the 90km (60miles) Swedish Vasaloppet, the oldest cross-country ski race in the world, in 2012,[66] [67] 2013,[68] [69] 2014,[70] and 2015.[71] [72] In 2016, he completed the 54km (34miles) Norwegian Birkebeinerrennet with Norway's Crown Prince Haakon.[73] Also in 2016, Frederik completed the 160km (100miles) in Sisimiut, Greenland.[74] [75]

    International Olympic Committee

    On 9 October 2009, Crown Prince Frederik was elected a member of the International Olympic Committee, replacing former Danish member Kaj Holm, who had reached the age of retirement.[76] The Crown Prince's candidature was met with some skepticism in Denmark, as it would mean that the Crown Prince would be on a semi-political committee along with several people who are suspected or even convicted of criminal acts.[77] Another concern was whether or not the Crown Prince's loyalty would be towards his country and government, as the Danish constitution prescribes, or with the International Olympic Committee, as is sworn upon election to the committee. The Crown Prince was given special observer status in National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark, as a way to allow him to work, without having political power.[78]

    Frederik announced that his point of focus and reason for joining the International Olympic Committee is to promote an active lifestyle among youth. He was elected for an eight-year term, and made it clear that he would terminate his membership upon ascending the Danish throne.[79]

    In 2012, Frederik carried the Olympic flame through Notting Hill, a neighbourhood in West London.[80]

    In 2016, Frederik faced criticism for voting against Danish Minister for Culture Bertel Haarder and a majority in the Danish Parliament's wishes on the subject of whether or not Russia should be allowed to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics following allegations of state-sponsored doping.[81]

    On 19 June 2017, the Crown Prince announced that he would continue another term of 8 years.[82] However, in 2021, Frederik was announced that he would step down as an active member of the International Olympic Committee at the committee's annual session prior to the 2020 Summer Olympics, citing a wish to intensify his everyday work as the reason for stepping down in the middle of his term.[83]

    Royal Run

    In celebration of his 50th birthday, on 21 May 2018, Frederik initiated a public running event across five cities in Denmark called with more than 70,000 participants, including himself and his own family.[84] The event was generally deemed as "exceeding expectations" by the public.[85] [86]

    The event has since become annual, and was continued in 2019,[87] 2021,[88] 2022,[89] and 2023.[90] The 2020 version was cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation in Denmark.[91] The 2024 edition took place on 20 May in Copenhagen/Frederiksberg, Kalundborg, Fredericia, Aarhus, and Brønderslev.[92]

    Expeditions

    The Crown Prince participated in an expedition to Mongolia in 1986.[93] In 2000, the Crown Prince participated in "Expedition Sirius 2000", which was a four-month and 2,795 km dog-sledge expedition in the northern part of Greenland. The expedition Sirius marked the 50-year anniversary of the Sirius Patrol. Prince Frederik was part of the polar expedition as a film photographer, whose job was to ensure an optimal coverage of this event.[94] [95]

    Crown Prince Frederik's Foundation

    The purpose of the foundation is to provide financial assistance to students of social policy and sciences, for one year's study at Harvard.[96] It also provides financial support for scientific expeditions, particularly to foreign parts of the world, such as Greenland and the Faroe Islands, and sports purposes, including those with a particularly social aspect.[97]

    Titles, styles, honours and arms

    Titles and styles

    Frederik was originally styled "His Royal Highness Prince Frederik of Denmark". On the accession of his mother on 14 January 1972, he became known as "His Royal Highness The Crown Prince of Denmark". The title Count of Monpezat was added when his mother created it for her male-line descendants.[98] Since his accession on 14 January 2024, he has been styled "His Majesty The King, Count of Monpezat".[99]

    Honours

    See also: List of honours of the Danish Royal Family by country. The King has received a number of honours. One of the more surprising honors he has received is the special honor from the Danish Red Cross. Normally, this accolade is only given to former presidents of the Danish Red Cross, but a special exception was made for the king on this occasion. [100]
