Being more than 1000 years old, The Kingdom of Denmark is a country of traditions. So after yesterday's general election, today it is time for The King's Round.
The leader of each elected party arrives at Amalienborg Palace, where they present a document informing the King of their preference for whom to form a new government.
The person supported by most seats in Parliament is then appointed as The King's Investigator, who will lead the negotiations to form the next government of Denmark.

@randahl how it happens in New Zealand: the leaders of the various parties negotiate until one grouping manages to get a majority of confidence and supply, then the leader of that particular grouping goes up to the Governor-General and says they can form a government. This generally takes a few weeks and (much to the politicians' embarrassment) things almost always run themselves perfectly well without there being a functioning government in Wellington.

@randahl
Just curious. What happens if you have a mad king? Is all of this just ceremonial or can real stuff be ruined? Asking because … stuff. -
