Margrethe leaves with Benedikte.
I'm crying.
Frederik is very emotional.

Very odd IMO. No interaction between new King and former Queen. It looks like she declared something as she left - God save the King In Danish or something similar maybe?
It was not shown live but a bit laterApparently Danish TV has shown some footage of Queen Margrethe leaving the Council of State and King Frederik X taking her seat with Crown Prince Christian seated next to him. I couldn't see if the actual signing of the declaration of abdication was also shown, as I just caught a glimpse of the footage.
Are you sure that's Benedikte and not one of her ladies-in-waiting?
The Queen was actually crying by the time she turned around, Christian was very aware (perhaps even shocked/moved) by it.

I found the lack of intimacy (a kiss or hug) very sad, perhaps nerves played a part in that. I’ve been so emotional, I can’t shake a sense of sadness.
Goodbye, Queen Daisy. Always a class act.
May she enjoy her well earned retirement.
I thought so too. She was certainly very emotional.
Just before QMII went out the door, she said: "God save the King."
It looked like Christian’s jaw actually dropped for a moment when she said something and walked out.
