The Royal Family Channel published this video item, entitled “Golden Carriage Ride is Queen Margrethe II’s Last Public Appearance” – below is their description.
This is Queen Margrethe II’s last public appearance before she abdicates later this month.
The Queen of Denmark took a short trip in a special golden carriage only used once a year for a New Year’s ceremony. The half mile journey took the Queen from her current home in Amalienborg to the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. Thousands braved the freezing temperatures to cheer her along.
Queen Margrethe surprised many around the world by announcing her abdication on New Year’s Eve. The Danish Queen is Europe’s longest-reigning living monarch, having reigned for more than 51 years.
The monarch will be succeeded by her eldest son, Crown Prince Frederik. Frederik and his wife Mary will be proclaimed King and Queen on 14 January. Danish monarchs do not have coronation ceremonies.

Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital, sits on the coastal islands of Zealand and Amager. It’s linked to Malmo in southern Sweden by the Öresund Bridge. Indre By, the city’s historic center, contains Frederiksstaden, an 18th-century rococo district, home to the royal family’s Amalienborg Palace. Nearby is Christiansborg Palace and the Renaissance-era Rosenborg Castle, surrounded by gardens and home to the crown jewels.
Denmark, officially the Kingdom of Denmark, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe. The capital is Copenhagen. Denmark proper, consists of a peninsula, Jutland, and an archipelago of 443 islands.
The Kingdom of Denmark comprises Denmark proper and the two autonomous territories in the North Atlantic Ocean: the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Home rule was established in the Faroe Islands in 1948; in Greenland home rule was established in 1979 and further autonomy in 2009.
Denmark has highly developed mixed economy. Denmark became a member of the European Economic Community (now the EU) in 1973, but negotiated certain opt-outs; it retains its own currency, the krone. It is among the founding members of NATO, the Nordic Council, the OECD, OSCE, and the United Nations; it is also part of the Schengen Area. Denmark has close linguistic ties to its Scandinavian neighbours.
TikTok, known in China as Douyin, is a Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based Internet technology company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming. It is used to create short music, lip-sync, dance, comedy and talent videos of 3 to 15 seconds, and short looping videos of 3 to 60 seconds.
ByteDance first launched Douyin for the Chinese market in September 2016. Later, TikTok was launched in 2017 for iOS and Android in most markets outside of mainland China; however, it only became available worldwide, including the United States, after merging with another Chinese social media service Musical.ly on 2 August 2018.
