King Frederik and Queen Mary shared a tender moment on the balcony at Christiansborg Palace after Frederik's proclamation last Sunday.

Mary joined her husband just moments after, with the couple waving and smiling at the thousands of people in the crowd.

Frederik then leaned in to give his wife a kiss, and cameras appeared to pick up their 16-year-old daughter Princess Isabella's reaction to the sweet moment.

Frederik's accession to the Danish throne came just two weeks after his mother Queen Margrethe announced her shock abdication in her New Year's address.

A spokesperson from the royal palace confirmed to Danish newspaper Berlingske that the queen only informed both her sons, Frederik and Prince Joachim, three days before her public announcement.

On 14 January – 52 years to the day that Margrethe succeeded her father King Frederik IX – she signed a formal declaration of abdication.

An hour later, Frederik was then proclaimed King by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen at Christiansborg Palace.

HELLO!'s A Right Royal Podcast is back and our hosts are examining the relationship between King Frederik and Queen Mary, who will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in May.

While the new King and Queen are both overwhelmingly well-liked with the Danish public, during the episode, Chris Ship, ITV News Royal Editor,  explained that King Frederik had to contend with the fact that his wife is, perhaps, even more popular than he is. 

Take a listen below…

On Monday, the King, Queen and the Crown Prince made their first public appearance since the accession, attending a meeting at the Danish parliament, Folketing.

The Danish royals are expected to attend a celebratory service at Aarhus Cathedral on Sunday.
