Released just three days into his reign, following his coronation on Sunday, "The King's Word" delves into various subjects, including Denmark's global standing and King Frederik X's relationship with Queen Mary. The publication is a result of interviews conducted over the past year-and-a-half with Jens Andersen, the author of Frederik's 2017 biography.
The book provides insights into the constitutional and symbolic role of a king in modern society, balancing tradition with democratic values. It reflects on the responsibilities that come with kingship, including serving the people with humility and dedication.

King Frederik X's ascension to the throne was witnessed by tens of thousands outside Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen.

King Frederik X emotionally addressed the crowd, expressing his aspirations to be a "unifying king" for Denmark's future.
