Last weekend when I was in Denmark, it happened to be the 40th anniversary of the Queen of Denmark. I went into town to see the Golden Carriage with HRM and the Prince travel from the royal castle to the town hall of Copenhagen together with my mum. We had a nice day together with a many other people who were there to take part in the celebrations.
I am not a royalist as such but I admire her. I think it is impressive that a woman past 70 goes on a sleighride across the Greenlandic Ice to camp in a tent. She speaks at least 3 foreign languages at a level to express herself artistically. And she is an artist and an inspiring public speaker. And she does it all with a fairly relaxed attitude. She is natural and unpretentious.
As long as the Monarch can act as an inspiration for ordinary people and represent the country to the outside world in a favourable way I think it is worth supporting.
