Queen Margrethe: Inside the remarkable life of the Danish royal – Yahoo Lifestyle Australia
The non-traditional monarch is flamboyant and fierce.
Born as Margrethe Alexandrine Thorhildur Ingrid on 16 April 1940, Margrethe became Queen of Denmark on 14 January 1972 when her father King Frederick IX died. In 1953 Danish law was changed to allow women to inherit the throne.
She married French diplomat Count Henri de Laborde de Monpezat on 10 June 1967, who became known as Prince Henrik.
