There is a new royal to join the podcasting space —Queen Maryof Denmark!

Queen Mary, 52, took the throne alongside her husband,King Frederik, following the surprise abdication of Frederik’s mother,Queen Margrethe, earlier this year. In addition to her duties as a royal, Mary will launch a wellness podcast, she announced on Instagram.

In the photo shared to the official Instagram page of the Danish royal family, Mary can be seen with earphones in, wearing all black and sitting on a cream sofa. Written in Danish (and translated to English), Mary wrote alongside the photo, “I’m extremely excited to be listening to a podcast. I often listen when I have to move from one place to another.”

“Some days I’m in the mood for entertainment, and other days I use it to gain knowledge and new input,” she continued. “That is why I am also proud that we have now thrown ourselves into making a podcast in the Mary Foundation.”

The Mary Foundation was established in 2007 — three years after she married Frederik in 2004 — and was born from the royal’s “desire to make society more inclusive and bring in those who find themselves on the margins,” according toThe Daily Express.
