With 18,811 days on the throne, Queen Margrethe has today become the longest reigning monarch in Danish history. She beats the old record held by Christian IV (1577-1648), counting from the time of his coronation on 29 August 1596. Actually he inherited the throne as a minor already in 1588, but a regency governed the country until he was old enough to take over in 1596. Yesterday, Queen Margrethe celebrated the milestone with a private dinner at Koldinghus Castle, which was partly built by - Christian IV. His portrtait hangs in the banqueting hall, and Queen Margrethe must have been sitting right in front of it.
