Three days after becoming the king of Denmark, Frederik X has published a book seemingly out of nowhere, Ednews reports citing BBC reports.
The book has come as a surprise to Danes, and media outlets have been hastily live-blogging lines from it.
"The King's Word" promises Frederik's thoughts on topics including Denmark's place in the world and his relationship with his wife, Queen Mary.
Frederik was crowned king on Sunday after his mother, Margrethe II, abdicated on New Year's Eve.
The book costs up to 250 Danish Krone (£29; €33.50) and is around 110 pages long.
It was written with Jens Andersen, who authored Frederik's 2017 biography, and is based on interviews conducted over the last year-and-a-half.
