This afternoon, it was announced by the Royal Household of Denmark that Their Majesties King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark, accompanied by their family, will take up residence at Kancellihuset (Chancellery House) at Fredensborg Slot on May 4th, 2026, relocating from Frederik VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen.
Kancellihuset serves as the summer residence of Their Majesties. Following their marriage on May 14th, 2004, the then Crown Prince Couple resided there while Frederik VIII’s Palace underwent extensive restoration works, completed in 2010.
In accordance with tradition, Their Majesties will be formally welcomed to the town of Fredensborg by Mayor Thomas Lykke Pedersen. The occasion will be marked by flag displays and a concert performance featuring the Fredensborg Slotskirke and the Fredensborg Brass Ensemble. The ceremony is scheduled to take place at 5 p.m.
