The surprise abdication of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has allowed for the ascension of two relatively young royals — her son, King Frederik X and his wife, Queen Mary — causing a worldwide pique in interest in the couple many are comparing to our own William and Kate.
Queen Mary, 51, first married into the Danish royal family in 2004, but it has taken nearly 20 years for her presence to cause such a worldwide flurry of attention. Her newly minted position as Queen Consort has added an extra layer of notability to the royal, and many are finally noticing her careful — and familiar — approach to royal dressing.
