I believe that all the euphoria about Europe has led many of us to forget that Europe is a conglomerate of different entities and countries. But if you don't love your own entity, if you don't know your roots and can no longer relate to them, you will also have problems with the rest of Europe.

I represent all people who are citizens of the Danish nation.

I believe that the fact that I am religious brings me closer to anyone with a different faith.

Under the constitution, as the Danish queen I am bound to the Lutheran faith, but that does not exclude people of other faiths.

My father had no sons, so I became queen. The only thing I had to do was perform the role.

I hope people will remember me as one who did her best - and who wasn't an anachronism.
