I believe that many people have forgotten what their roots are. This is one of the advantages of countries with a monarchy. The monarch offers identity across generations, and is a part of these roots and this native country.

None of my counterparts in Europe interferes in politics.

I would not say Denmark is a multicultural country, but more people live here now who have different roots, backgrounds and religions, more than 30 years ago. This also applies to religions.

There are indeed ways for a queen to say what she thinks.

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

And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction.

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