Helena (born Helena Christensen; 25 December 1968) is Queen of Denmark as the wife of King Frederik X.
A former Victoria's Secret Angel, Helena initially found fame in the early 1990s as one of the world's most popular supermodels. Throughout her modeling career, Helena graced the covers of various magazines including Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar and appeared in fashion campaigns including Revlon, Chanel, Versace, and Prada. Together with the likes of Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Christy Turlington (who also married a European royal), Helena was known as "The Magnificent Seven".
In 1998, Helena married Denmark's Crown Prince Frederick and later became queen consort in January 2024 following the abdication of her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe II. Together, the couple have four children including the eldest Crown Prince Christian. Having been born in the same year, the couple are only five months apart in age.
