From King Harald V of Norway

Your Majesties,
Dear Frederik and Mary,

My family and I extend our warmest congratulations to you as Denmark's new royal couple.

You are succeeding a monarch who has fulfilled her role in an admirable manner. With warmth, wisdom, and dedication, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe has guided her country and people through joys and sorrows. For more than 50 years, she has managed to be a present monarch – with an infectious sense of humor and great knowledge. And with the strong support of her closest family. The close friendship between our two families means a lot to us all.

Now, you are to carry on the legacy and lead Denmark into a new era. I am confident that you will fulfill your new roles excellently. My family and I hope and pray that you may have the strength and support you need in your duties.

As Queen of Denmark, you have been a guarantor of the closeness and affection that exists today between our countries and houses. For this, I want to thank you especially.

From King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of the Belgians

Queen Margrethe II of Denmark abdicated today in favour of her son, bringing to an end the longest reign in Danish history. For 52 years, as Sovereign, she put the interests of the Danish nation and people first. Her way of exercising the royal function and her dedication will remain an example to us all.
The King and Queen have warm memories of each of their encounters with the Queen. They wish King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark all the best in their new roles. May this new era for the Danish nation be filled with happiness and prosperity.
