King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark are no doubt readjusting to life after the sudden abdication of Queen Margarethe-II saw them ascend to the Danish throne on Sunday 14 January.
The former Crown Prince was officially named King Frederik X of Denmark by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen from the balcony of Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen - the home of the Danish Parliament.

Built in 1731, it is a Baroque-style building attached to the main castle via the stable buildings and the church. It used to be the royal couple's primary residence when they first got married in May 2004, until Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen was renovated.

Several of the original features remain today, including stucco ceilings, panelled doors, decorative wrought iron fittings and high wall panels.
Since it was built by architect J.C. Krieger, who was also responsible for the main palace, we've taken a look inside Fredensborg Castle to get an idea of the beautiful interiors.

Outside, there are plenty of grounds for the King and Queen's children to explore, including manicured lawns and the kitchen garden.
Set behind a brick wall, rows of plants and purple flowers offer a wild aesthetic, while the stunning orangery is a stunning spot for summer dining.

Known as the Danish yellow lounge, the room follows a bright colour scheme with patterned wallpaper, matching curtains and gold accents, including vintage chairs with gold legs. Wooden floorboards, a red rug, a crystal chandelier and flowers add the finishing touches.

Perhaps even more impressive is the Great Lounge, which has ornate ceiling roses, splashes of green and huge windows offering natural light.

Blue, gold and red are the primary colours decorating the French Library inside Fredensborg Castle. It features a striped sofa and a cream and gold lamp, while an entire wall is taken up by rows of books.

Photographs shared from a dinner party to celebrate King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark's engagement hosted in 2003 show the grand dining room inside Fredensborg Castle.

Decorated with plush red carpets that wouldn't be out of place in Hollywood, the hallways appear to be very light, with white walls, tall ceilings and huge windows.
