On Sunday, Queen Margrethe abdicated when she handed over the throne to her son Frederik X as the new King of Denmark.
By his side is Queen Mary, who was born in the state of Tasmania in Australia.
She is the first Australian to become queen of a European country, which was celebrated in her hometown of Hobart, which on Sunday lit up a bridge in red and white.
'Lack of respect'
But at the same time, a flag fight has flared up in Tasmania when the Aboriginal flag over the Parliament House was taken down in favor of the Danish flag.
At the same time, the Australian and Tasmanian flags were allowed to continue to fly over the parliament. Something that was not well received and Tasmania's Aboriginal population has now demanded an apology from the government in the state.
"There is a lack of respect and there was no consultation with the Aboriginal community about raising the flag, nor was there any discussion about removing the flag," Nala Mansell, who fights for Aboriginal rights, told ABC News.
"Understand the concern"
Tasmanian Prime Minister Jeremy Rockliff's explanation is that the flag protocols were followed.
"In accordance with the national protocols, the Danish flag was hoisted for one day.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Mark Shelton:
"The wish was to one day draw attention to the connection between the Danish and Tasmanian people. I understand the Aboriginal people's concerns, but it was a day and the Aboriginal flag is up and flying again," he says.
"I'm sorry"
Opposition leader Rebecca White, however, believes that the flag protocols should be reviewed.
"We shouldn't be disrespectful to one culture when we want to support another culture, and we should be able to do that without offending any group. I'm sorry that Aboriginal society has been offended by this," she says, and continues where she suggests a solution:
"I hope we can find a way to draw attention to important events and occasions and maybe put a new flagpole there – it wouldn't cost so much money.
