The children of Denmark’s new King and Queen joined their parents on the balcony of Christiansborg Castle today to celebrate this momentous day.
King Frederick
After the Council of State, Frederick was proclaimed king on the balcony of Christiansborg Castle, joined shortly afterwards by his wife Mary and their four children: Prince Christian, 18, Princess Isabella, 16, and twins Vincent and Josephine, 13.
Today was also a big moment for the now Crown Prince Christian, who became the first in line for the Danish throne on Sunday afternoon.
The 18-year-old waved proudly to the hundreds of royal spectators gathered under the balcony, smartly dressed in a navy blue suit and white shirt.

His younger brother Vincent was just as smart in a matching navy blue suit, but opted for a pink and blue striped tie instead of the block color his older brother wore.
Princess Isabella, 16, went for a striking red ensemble, with her hair pulled back into a sleek bun. She waved enthusiastically to the crowd and sang along to their rendition of the Danish national anthem.
Her younger sister Josephine, 13, was a little shyer and hid behind her mother.
But Mary quickly reassured her with an arm around her waist, and she too waved to the crowd below in her navy blue peacoat.
There is little doubt that today will be a turning point for the Danish royal family, which has grown up relatively normally until now.

The children – and royal parents – are seen as often in puffa coats and combat trousers as in suits, heels and dresses.
They live away from the public eye, attend public schools and remain close to the Australian side of the family, including their grandfather, Scottish-born math professor John Donaldson.

Appearances and grace are not encouraged at home. The family was captured dressed casually – Mary in glasses and a woolen sweater, Isabella in a denim shirt – to decorate their Christmas tree in December.
It seems the kids enjoy making fun of their mum’s Australian accent, describing her Danish pronunciation as ‘funny’ in a tribute filmed for her 50th birthday in 2022.
