None of my counterparts in Europe interferes in politics.

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.

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

I smoke wherever there's an ashtray.

I will remain on the throne until I fall off.

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