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

The Reformation was immensely important for all of Danish culture.

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.

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

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

I will remain on the throne until I fall off.
