Denmark proper formsThe Danish Kingdom(Kongeriget Danmark) together with theFaroe IslandsandGreenland, a personal union under the same monarch; Frederik X since 2024. The Danes hold their monarchy in high regard, especially sinceWorld War II in Europeas the Germans occupied Denmark, as King Christian X remained on the throne as Head of State in symbolic resistance, riding his horse through Copenhagen daily. There has been no coronation of the Danish monarch since that of King Christian VIII in 1840
