Queen Mary of Denmark will be well looked after 'by the people' if she outlives her husband, King Frederik.
According to a proposed bill, which also outlines the couples potential new 'salary', the Australian-born Queen will receive about AUD$2.5million (DKK 11,300,000) per year and will stay in a Danish castle if the King dies first.
The pension would be paid to the widowed Queen monthly, amounting to about AUD$208,000 a pop.
She will also likely stay at the family's mansion, as other widows have been given the green light to maintain their residence.
If she can't stay in the family home, she will be given one of the royal residences to live out her life in a way which is befitting a former Queen.
The includes parts of Christiansborg Castle, Fredensborg Castle, Grasten Castle and Amaliegade 18 - all of which are state-owned but reserved for the use of the Royal family.

The proposals were put together and submitted by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on April 10, as part of King Frederik's Civil List.
The documents also propose the royal couple's new base salary - which is remarkably higher than the AUD$3million they received as Crown Prince and Princess.
According to the documents, they could pocket just over $27million per year for their efforts - more than double what Queen Margrethe was given.
Of this amount, AUD$309,500 will be given to King Frederik's aunt Princess Benedikte, and AUD$884,300 will be set aside for Crown Prince Christian.
This would leave the popular Danish royals with about AUD$25,900,000 in their coffers - or just over AUD$2,150,000 each month.
The pension would be paid to the widowed Queen monthly, amounting to about AUD$208,000
'The proposed level of the state allowance is an expression of a modernisation of the Royal Household's financial conditions,' the document states.
Queen Mary's 'pension' could be changed after the King's death; however, the changes would have to go through parliament to be approved.
The Queen would receive the money outlined in The King's Civil List, once approved, as well as the stately home during any transition period.
The document does not describe what would happen if the couple divorced or separated - only what will happen if The King dies before his Queen.
