BREAKING: Denmark's Queen Margrethe II has announced she will abdicate on January 14th after 52 years on the throne. The Queen delivered the surprise decision during a live TV new year address.

Sad day IMHO - She became heir presumptive to her father in 1953, when a constitutional amendment allowed women to inherit the throne On her accession, she became the first female monarch of Denmark since Margrethe I, 500 Years previously

A good and wise decision. Both Frederik and Mary will unite the younger generation.

Did not see that coming.
