The Danish royal couple will host a traditional New Year’s reception at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen.

Queen Mary and King Frederik wore the number one, but their gloves have sparked a debate among social media. In the comments of the Danish court’s official Instagram account, many people wonder why the queen takes off her gloves when shaking hands, but the king doesn’t.

Many have commented that the reason can be found in the king’s uniform. Other men in uniform also wear gloves at events all the time.

The gloves typically worn by royalty have been said to protect against bacteria when blue-blooded people shake hands with numerous people.

Denmark changed power in January last year, when Queen Margaret abdicated her crown.

Queen Margaret’s big decision came with her back surgery.

– I have decided that now is the right time. Time passes and diseases increase. It will no longer be the same as before, Margareeta said in her speech.

– My hope is that the new ruling couple will encounter the same trust and affection that I have received. They deserve it. Denmark deserves it.
