In her speech, Margaret II thanked the people, the government and the Parliament for their support and trust in her and the royal family. The Office of the Danish Prime Minister's Office issued a statement that night, expressing gratitude to Queen Margrethe II for her dedication and efforts to Denmark over the past 50 years, and expressing her expectations for the new king's succession in January 2024.
According to a report by Reference News Network on November 14, 2023, citing the website of the New York Times, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has never given up her passion for art. She continued to follow her interest in art during her teenage years, creating a large number of paintings, and largely stopped creating them until her 20s. Around the age of 30—by which time she had earned a diploma in prehistoric archeology from Cambridge University and studied at Aarhus University in Denmark, the Sorbonne in Paris, and the London School of Economics—she read J.R.R. Thomas Erkin's "The Lord of the Rings." This prompted her to start painting again.
As a monarch, she took courses in certain media and was invited to advise on projects produced by the Royal Danish Ballet and the world's oldest amusement park, Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Her paintings have been exhibited in museums, including a recent exhibition at the Henri-Martin Museum in Cahors, France. Her illustrations were included in the Danish translation of The Lord of the Rings.
Margaret recently achieved another creative achievement: serving as costume designer and production designer for the film Irunga: The Art of Seduction. This feature film will premiere on Netflix in September 2023 and is adapted from a fairy tale created by Karen Blixen, a Danish baroness. Margaret designed the costumes and sets for the film based on her own paintings and other artwork. The Netflix adaptation has been in the works for over a decade. The Danish production company jj film involved in the film asked Margaret if she would like to join the production of the film.
Margaret created drawings and other works of art whether at her castle in France or in her studio at the Danish Royal Palace of Amalienborg and the Peace Palace. She said: "I work whenever I have time. I seem to usually find the time."
According to a report by the Reference News Network on November 14, 2023, citing the website of "El Espanyol", at present, in addition to the only ruling party in the Old Continent Except for the female monarch - Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, the royal family is dominated by men: Charles III of the United Kingdom, Harald V of Norway, Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Philippe of Belgium. However, the vagaries of genes meant that their eldest child and heir were both female.
They have much in common: they have received elite training, some have served in the military, and they will rule in new ways.
