King Frederik finds himself barred from his seat in Denmark’s parliament and laughs it off…
King Frederik of Denmark found himself temporarily barred from his seat as he arrived at his country’s parliament for its official opening this year. He was accompanied by his wife, Queen Mary, and his aunt, Princess Benedikte.
As the three royals made their way to the balcony, where Danish royals traditionally sit for the opening, Frederik X discovered a red rope still in place, blocking access to his designated seat. The King initially attempted to walk around the side to reach his spot but found it impossible and returned to the entrance.
There, he and Queen Mary carefully removed the rope, allowing all three royals to take their seats. The Danish royal family has observed parliamentary proceedings from this special balcony since 1988; prior to that, they sat among politicians for significant events like official openings.
