Denmark’s King Frederik X and Queen Mary move out of their lavish palace
By Nika ShakhnazarovaKing Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark have bid farewell to their longtime official residence — the regal Amalienborg Palace.
The Danish royals have permanently moved to Fredensborg Palace, their summer residence located on the shore of Esrum Lake.
The Danish royals on Monday officially moved into the eastern wing of the palace, known as the Chancellery House.
The sprawling estate, which is located on Zealand island in Denmark, boasts gardens that cover nearly 300 acres of land.


Frederik and Mary had previously lived at Chancellery from 2004 until 2010, while he was still the Crown Prince. At the time, Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen was being refurbished.
The king and queen, along with three of their four children, Princess Isabella, 18, and 14-year-old twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, were seen arriving at the plush royal residence they will now call home.
The pair’s eldest son and heir to the throne, 19-year-old Prince Christian, will join the rest of the family later this summer once he completes his mandatory military service in Slagelse, a town located roughly 80 miles away.
But their unusual move has since intrigued royal watchers, who questioned why the family took up the smaller residence at the palace while former monarch Queen Margrethe — who abdicated in Jan. 2024 — moved into the main house.
