Frederik X’s ascension to the throne in 2024 followed his mother Queen Margrethe's abdication after five decades, and he quickly matched her high approval ratings.
Historian Lars Hovbakke Srensen observes that while both Margrethe and Frederik are popular, their leadership styles vary, with Frederik adopting a more informal approach.
With a historical approval steady at around 80%, support for the monarchy is largely attributed to Margrethe's reign, which was free of scandals, according to experts.
King Frederik faces the challenge of balancing informality and dignity to keep the monarchy relevant amidst modern issues such as climate change and sustainability.
