We, the monarchs, are undoubtedly constants in a constantly changing world. Because we have always been there, but also because we do not get involved in everyday politics. We are aware of the political changes in our societies, but we don't comment on them. This is where we assume a unique position.

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

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.

I will remain on the throne until I fall off.

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

A tree without roots will fall over, whereas a tree with roots eventually becomes part of a forest.
