The Australian-born Queen Mary brings a unique background and fashion sense to her new role, while King Frederik faces rumors of infidelity.

King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark ascended to the throne on January 14, 2024, following the abdication of Queen Margrethe II.
The couple met in a pub in Sydney during the 2000 Olympics and maintained a long-distance relationship before marrying in 2004.
