However, a person with a viral video is only remotely similar to the ruling Danish monarch, and some similarities, most likely, arose only due to the poor quality of the record being distributed. Moreover, a man with the Palestinian flag is smoothly shaved, and Frederick X wears a beard (in May 2024, judging by the photo reports on site The royal family, the monarch did not shave).
