The 83-year-old sovereign, a third cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II, announced in her New Year's address on December 31 that she would step down on January 14.
The decision to abdicate his throne means that his son, Crown Prince Frederik, will now take the reins.
According to biographer and royal expert Phil Dampier, King Charles could be planning a similar move while William and his wife Kate Middleton are still young.
“We have to wonder whether King Charles might consider doing the same in five or 10 years' time if his health suffers, or he simply feels it is a good time to pass on the inheritance to William and Kate, as long as they are are still young.” he told the Chron.

“Our late Queen would never abdicate because of the events of 1936 when her uncle abdicated and her father ascended the throne. But times are changing”.
Dampier's comments were echoed by the royal expert and commentator Richard Fitzwilliamswho said Queen Margaret's decision to abdicate early could be to ensure the monarchy stays current, something Charles has expressed interest in implementing in his own company.
Fitzwilliams told the outlet that Margrethe may have done this “calculated that an aging monarchy was not a good idea, especially if it had ruled for another decade or so”.
While royal experts believe Margaret's decision to abdicate early was to make way for a younger ruler, others have questioned whether the announcement was a way to improve the prince's relationship with his wife, Crown Princess Mary, despite rumors of adventures to maintain.
There was speculation that Frederik, 55, had been unfaithful to Australian-born marketing consultant, 51, and socialite Genoveva Casanova after photos emerged of them together during a trip to Madrid in November.
