The announcement made on live television came as a surprise for the Danish people and the world. Initially Margrethe II never intended to abdicate the throne. In an interview back in 2012 which she made during her 40 year jubilee she said: "In my eyes, it's part of the position that you have when you inherit a monarchy: It is a task you have handed down to you, and that you keep as long as you live, the way my father did and my grandfather before him". 4 years later she underlined that statement once again saying: "In this country we haven't gone in for that way of handing over. It's always been: you stay as long as you live. That's what my father did and my predecessors. And the way I see it too".
