Frederik X has officially been crowned King of Denmark, with his wife becoming Queen Mary following the abdication of Queen Margrethe II.
Margrethe became the first Danish monarch to relinquish the throne in almost 900 years. She will retain the title of Queen while Frederik's wife becomes Queen Mary.
Born in Australia, Mary is the youngest daughter of Scottish academics John Dalgleish Donaldson and Henrietta Clark Donaldson (née Horne), who grew up in Port Seton, East Lothian and emigrated to Australia shortly after marrying in 1963. Mary and Frederik were married in 2004 and with Frederik's ascension to power, their eldest son, Christian, 18, will become Crown Prince and heir to the throne.
