QUEEN MARGRETHE of DENMARK

EXTRACTS



“Your path in life is already set, for one day you will follow your father, just as he will follow me one day. You become a link in the long historical chain that has bound our country together for centuries.” 

“It can sound violent when you are eighteen years young. It is a challenge, but there is also a sense of security in knowing where you are going and in knowing that others have been in the same situation and have followed the same path. We have always had to feel the responsibility, but we have never failed to feel the warm support that has surrounded us, as you have also experienced from the Castle Square at Amalienborg today.”

~Queen Margrethe,  speech on Crown Prince Christian 18th birthday (October 2023), HOLA
