Christian X, born near Copenhagen. Frederick was educated at the Danish Naval
Academy and the University of Copenhagen. He broke the Danish royal tradition
by choosing a naval instead of an army career. During the German occupation of
Denmark in World War II, Frederick was virtually interned in the palace.

reign, and he was succeeded by his eldest daughter, Margaret II.
