i think Kong Harold is wayyyy better~! He’s fat and bold muhhahahha!
Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik are WONDERFUL. So are crown prince and princess Mary. Well done to the new princess Mary.
@M55q: You should be proud of your Monarchy! It’s great!
This family is just like everyone else??
i hope you are only joking
this is the only family who who dips generously into state’s coffers on virtues of almost purely symbolic works, and is able to “command respect”
Those uniforms are unbelievable!! I would love to get my hands on one of them.
And to all you haters. I am proud of my Queen. I am proud of our Monarchy. And I don’t mind paying a little extra tax to keep the monarchy alive.
I want to maintain peaceful and respectful terms with all those who disagree with me, just because the republicans and monarchists do not agree does not mean we have to be disagreeable, it is only a matter with regards to the freedom of conscience.
Privilege in republic can be justified, because they are obtained by merits and are potentially available to all, and under public scrutiny.
Monarchic privilege is unjust because it is hereditary because on the notion of blue blood, they are ever-lasting, and apply to all royal members, and the money they spend is not even their owe.
You are so despotic, tell me to back off from Europe, just because my opinions differ from yours I cant even speak out? no wonder monarchists are sometimes accused of being reactionary.
Honestly speaking, we Canadians simply cant stand waste of taxes of this proportion, we certainly have wasteful uses here, but not on this scale, and on those unjust monarchic principles, the last governor general here spends a little too much and the public is outrage.
If you think people are against monarchy because of personal grievances, what a pathetic joke. There are many republicans from high positions. As for myself, Im from a fairly rich family and studying political science in one of Canadas best universities, we often discuss about the relevancy of monarchy in classes, thats why I have learned to be critical about it.
You do not excuse and justify one institution by lashing out against the flaws of others, the politicians may enjoy their privilges, because they obtained their high positions by personal merits, and deserve the privileges they enjoy, their privileges are not ever-lasting, they are gone once they are removed from office, and their wives and children do not receive massive allowances.
All these haters on this board. This family is just like everyone else, just with a different and more priveleged role in society. Quit talking about a high tax rate..What do you think Americans pay for the same services and taxes healthcare and standard of living? MUCH MORE. Americans have far less expendable income and a far worse healthcare system and education than in Denmark.
and astrid you are so jelous you are obviously poor stupid alone women who only look how many money everyone spend..and tell me that danemark is republic how many cost president and administration…ccccplease back off,,od bless monarchy danemark and queen..and big kiss to danish people…be proud on your country..
god bless a monarchy,,,how many money spend every country for guns and nuclear weapon..please…and republics costs a billions…here we have one of most oldest monarchies and you astrid back off from europe
found this comment, I owe nothing
“I pay around 38% procent of it as tax. My tax money is financing Mary’s designer clothes. But the thing about Mary is that she always come off as aloof and rather self-centered, and she only started to endorse more worthy charities after being dictated to do it. I guess, what I’m trying to say is, that she seems fake. I do hope and sort of believe that she genuinely loves Frederik, but as I said she doesn’t seem to care a great deal about others.”
the danes pay around 37% of their incomes to taxation, and this is how this being treated
have mercy on the honest labouring people
Mary and Frederik’s budget deficit/credit
2008 -2.1 million kroner
2007 -173,000 kroner
2006 +224,000 kroner
2005 -775,000 kroner
2004 -4.5 million kroner
Princess Mary spends $28 million on palace renovation, so her family could move in
glad I’m not living in denmark
the simple point is: he does not earn his own money, the taxpayers pay every thing
If a commoner live like that, would not he/she be branded as a parasite?
why should not the same rule apply to the royals?
no offense
Any way they are royall family n you danish must be proud of them they are beautiest symbol of denmark kingdom
Right Harvard just lets anyone in . . . and U.N. work, masters in political science in Aarhus, working with the embassy in Paris and military service where he became a member of special forces . . . yup nothing to be proud of there.
Just cause he didn’t have much of a choice about going into the family business doesn’t mean he didn’t work and accomplish things.
This is a family that has served Denmark since Gorm the old, the longest uninterrupted line in Europe. They have been with Denmark through everything and is the past present and future of the people they are these days more ambassadors, secretaries of state and figureheads but they still serve an important and vital role to Denmark.
If you think the people don’t love their monarchs look to Christian X and his rides through Copenhagen during WWII
if anyone think their blood is bluer than the others, they should see the doctors
this is the 21th century, not the middle ages
the argument that in the superioty birth itself warrants privilege has fallen into disrepute
royals of all countries perform charity
but are they not the recipients of charity themselves?
you call them hard working, well who isn’t ?
does hard working itself warrants state to pay for your luxuries?
the danish royalty is one of the most expensive royal houses in europe
there are civil servants and politicians who perfrom endless public duties as well
does any government entitle them to live on public expenditures in eternity?
I think monarchy is unjust in itself
and the principle that people should support themselves apply to everyone
as for british monarchy, I pray for the day that canada severs its ties with it
You’re still going on about him? I not that you are Canadian. I am surprised that you donl go on about your own royal family.
Danish tax payers pay salaries and expenses incurred in state service for all of Denmark’s civil servants. The Crown Prince and Princess, who perform innumerable public and governmental duties in Denmark and abroad, are no exception. What would you have them do, teach school?
I don’t understand why you, a Canadian, are going on like this. Do you have issues? Tell us!
