An overjoyed Princess Ingrid of Sweden and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark waves and smiles to the crowd in Copenhagen, 1935.
Frederick IX of Denmark (1899-1972).
King of Denmark.
.
During Nazi Germany's occupation of Denmark, Frederick acted as regent on behalf of his father from 1942 until 1943.
Frederick became king on his father's death in early 1947. During Frederick IX's reign, Danish society shook off the restrictions of an agrarian society, developed a welfare stateand, as a consequence of the booming economy of the 1960s, women entered the labour market. Denmark modernized, bringing new demands on the monarchy and Frederick's role as a constitutional monarch. Frederick IX died in 1972, and was succeeded by his eldest daughter.
.
Before he became king, he had acquired the rank of rear admiral and he had had several senior commands on active service. He acquired several tattoos during his naval service.
.
In addition, with his great love of music, the king was an able piano player and conductor.
.
In the 1910s, his mother considered the two youngest daughters, Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia and Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, of her cousin Tsar Nicholas II as possible wives for Frederick until the subsequent execution of the Romanov family in 1918. In 1922, Frederick was engaged to Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark, his second cousin. They never wed.
Instead, he married Princess Ingrid of Sweden in 1935. They had three daughters.
He died from a heart attack.

It’s Marie D’Orleans’ birthday tomorrow, and that always makes me smile because I LOOOOOOVE using pictures of her where she shows off her tattoo.
There’s just something fascinating about seeing ye olde royals with ink. Like Nicholas II and his arm dragon (Hard to see, there’s not many you can even see this one clearly):
or Frederick IX and his...well he had LOTS:
I understand broth Edward VII and George V had them too, as well as Prince Albert Victor. (Couldn’t find pictures of theirs though. Imagine how PIIIIIISSSSSED off Victoria was by THAT).
