Monarchy of Denmark

The Monarchy of Denmark is one of the oldest in the world, dating back over a thousand years. It is a constitutional monarchy, meaning the royal family’s powers are limited by law, and they primarily serve as ceremonial figureheads. The current monarch, Queen Margrethe II, has reigned since 1972. The Danish monarchy supports cultural traditions and represents national unity. While the royal family participates in state functions and diplomatic events, Denmark is governed democratically, with elected officials making political decisions. The monarchy remains a popular institution, symbolizing continuity and tradition in Danish society.
