Luther and the Reformation were of fundamental importance to Denmark. We Danes are still Lutherans today. We spoke about him a lot in school, and we feel very close to him.

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.

We are being challenged by Islam these years. There are some things for which one should display no tolerance. And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction.

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.

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

I am not a career woman, and I would never have become one in normal life, because I am not ambitious enough for that.
