The Danish royal family is undergoing significant changes, with Queen Margrethe II stepping down after 52 years due to health concerns, and Crown Prince Frederik and his Australian wife, Mary, set to ascend the throne. Mary, who initially met Frederik in a pub during the 2000 Summer Olympics, has adapted to her royal duties and gained popularity among the Danish people. The couple, known for their modern parenting style, will continue to focus on advocacy for social causes and maintain a contemporary approach to royalty.
