Historical drama documentary series about the Queen's father, Frederik IX, and the monarchy during his lifetime. In 1912, the 13-year-old Frederik becomes crown prince. He lives an isolated life and has a difficult relationship with the king, Christian X, who is a domineering father and a man bound by tradition. But out in society, the traditions are changing and the burgeoning democracy means that the politicians will take over the power and privileges that the king has left. The battle between the king and the politicians culminates in 1920, when the monarchy is thrown into one of the biggest crises in recent times. A crisis that the crown prince also witnesses.

At the beginning of 1920, the world is full of optimism after the end of the First World War. The young crown prince also enjoys life and not least the work in the navy. But a crown prince's most important task is to marry and produce an heir to the throne. It turns out to be more difficult than expected and the years pass. When he finally meets love at the age of 35, the country erupts in excitement and even the old, domineering king falls for his new daughter-in-law. But hard times soon await, as Hitler massively rearms in the 1930s and the world once again stands on the brink of a world war.
