King Frederik VIII's Proclamation

The proclamation was performed on 30 January 1906 by Prime Minister Jens Christian Christensen (1856-1930). At age 63, Frederik finally became king. He had been standing in the shadow of his father, who did not want any interference by his curious and hard working son. -Det Danske Filminstitut (Danish Film Institute)
