Events from the year 1947 in Denmark.
Frederik IX was King of Denmark from 1947 to 1972. Born into the House of Glücksburg, Frederik was the elder son of King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine of Denmark. He became crown prince when his father succeeded as king in 1912. As a young man, he was educated at the Royal Danish Naval Academy. In 1935, he married Princess Ingrid of Sweden and they had three daughters, Margrethe, Benedikte and Anne-Marie. During Nazi Germany's occupation of Denmark, Frederik acted as regent on behalf of his father from 1942 until 1943. Frederik became king on his father's death in early 1947. During Frederik IX's reign Danish society changed rapidly, the welfare state was expanded and, as a consequence of the booming economy of the 1960s, women entered the labour market. The modernization brought new demands on the monarchy and Frederik's role as a constitutional monarch. Frederik IX died in 1972, and was succeeded by his eldest daughter, Queen Margrethe II.
Knud, Hereditary Prince of Denmark was a member of the Danish royal family, the younger son and child of King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine.
