Succession to the Danish throne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Danish Act of Succession,[1] adopted on 5 June 1953, restricts the throne to those descended from Christian X and his wife, Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, through approved marriages. By a change in the law in 2009, succession is governed by absolute primogeniture.[2]
