On her 40th year as Queen, Margrethe II still feels the love of the Danes
Jan.
14, 1972, forty-years ago, Denmark's revered King Frederick IX passed
away. Inheriting the 1,000 year-old throne was her 31-year-old eldest
daughter and child, Crown Princess Margrethe, who took the name
Margrethe II. She ascended not only as the second Margrethe but so
far the only woman to inherit the throne since the first Margrethe.
The whole Danish nation celebrated with the coming of their new
monarch. Indeed, a new era had ushered in. On her 40th
year on the throne, the entire country, as well as neighboring
countries and monarchies the world over sent heartfelt felicitations
to the queen whose life and reign has been dedicated for the welfare
of the people and that of the state.
