Danish Queen Retires

Post by jackspratt » January 1, 2024, 7:57 pm

Queen Margrethe II has pulled the pin after 52 years, and wisely decided it is time to pass the throne onto the next generation while the incoming blue blood still has his marbles.

What a breath of fresh air.

Freddy will no doubt excel, because he has married well. I doubt we will see him and Mary all pimped up in ridiculous ermine shoulder throws and pompous crowns.

Tasmanian, you were almost right
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

Assuming the 'S' stands for Sheila? The gal is incredibly popular in Denmark.

Sheila's done alright then.

A home-grown Aussie queen, eh? That'll rattle the cages of the usual suspects. You know, the ones already deeply conflicted on all this monarchial stuff.
