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

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

Many young Danish theologians went to Wittenberg starting in 1517, listened to Luther's theses and, in 1536, brought the Reformation to our country. This is why the Danes, unlike the people of many countries in Eastern and Central Europe, became Lutherans and not Calvinists.

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

I smoke wherever there's an ashtray.

The Reformation was immensely important for all of Danish culture.

In Denmark, the king's faith became the religion of the country, and we are still happy with that today.
