THE KINGDOM OF DENMARK

Kongeriget Danmark

House of Oldenburg

 

The Kingdom of Denmark (Danish: Kongeriget Danmark, or Danmarks Rige),
or Danish Realm, is a constitutional monarchy and a community consisting
of three autonomous parts: Denmark in northern Europe, the Faroe Islands
in the North Atlantic, and Greenland in North America, with Denmark as
the hegemonial part, where the residual judicial, executive and legislative
power rests. The relationship of the member states is referred to as
Rigsfællesskabet. According to the Faroese home rule act, the Faroe Islands
constitutes a community of people within the kingdom. The Greenlandic self
-government act does not contain a similar definition but describes the
Greenlandic people as a people as defined in international law with the
right to self-determination. Of the three, parts of the Kingdom, only

the mainland of Denmark is a member of the European Union. 

 

       

 

Sovereign: Margrethe II Queen of Denmark (Amalienborg Palace,

Copenhagen, Denmark, April 16, 1940). Daughter of Frederik IX

King of Denmark (1899-1972) and Ingrid Princess of Sweden (1910-

2000) Succeeds her father Frederik IX King of Denmark (1899-

January 14, 1972). Inauguration: Christiansborg Castle, Copenhagen,

Denmark, January 15th, 1972. Motto: "Gud hjælp, Folkets kærlighed,

Danmarks styrke" ( Gods help, the love of the people, the power of

Denmark ). Religion: Lutheran Evangelic. The Queen is head of the

Danish Lutheran Evangelic Church. Married (1967):

Henri (Henrik) de Laborde de Monpézat (1934).

The Family Titles and Styles

The Queen is Her Majesty, Queen of Denmark. A male heir to the
throne is Royal Highness, Crown Prince of Denmark. Queen Margre
the used to be styled as tronfølgeren (heir to the throne) and
wasn't called Crown Princess. The children of the sovereign and
of the heir to the throne are Royal Highness, Prince/Princess
of Denmark. The other members of the royal family are Highness,
Prince/Princess of Denmark. On 30 April 2008 it was announced
that Queen Margrethe II has decided that her sons, their wives
and children will get the titles Count and Countess of Monpezat
(Greve/Grevinde/Komtesse af Monpezat), in addition to their
existing titles. The title will pass on to future generations
in male line.

The Rights of Succession

The throne is hereditary in male and female (since May 28, 1953)
descendance of King Christian X. However in each generation the
men have priority over the women. Marriages must have the
approval of the sovereign and the parliament.

The Royal Residences of Denmark

Since 1849 most palaces are in the possession of the Danish state,
but some are private property of the royal family. Queen Margrethe
II and Prince Henrik have three residences in Denmark. In the winter
they reside at the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen. In spring and
autumn they reside at Fredensborg Palace at Fredensborg. In the summer
they officially reside at Marselisborg Palace at Aarhus, in both seasons
for three months. They also spend time at Graasten Palace and on the
Royal Yacht Dannebrog. Queen Margrethe II and her husband in 1974 bought
the Château de Cayx in the wine district of Cahors, France, where they
usually spend part of the summer. The crown princely couple resides at
the chancellery af Fredensborg Palace. Prince Joachim and his family
live at Schackenborg Castleat Møgeltønder in South Jutland.
