Did anyone know Denmark had a monarchy?

Common knowledge, shirley?

Also you would have know if you had watched Borgen.

An Australian lass will become Queen. She met the Prince in a Sydney pub during the 2000 Olympics.

Earlier on this year the prince was allegedly having an affair with some Mexican socialite wifey.

Happy families!

About time as well.

The price of Lurpak has been outrageous for a while now so hopefully the Aussie lass will sort it out.

And not a single fuck was given that day.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Danes? Might have saved her

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Something is rotten etc

You're just a sucker but we'll see who gets the last laugh
Who knows, maybe you'll get to be the next queen of Denmark

 

[CPLforever]

Oh behave.

How do you and most Danes feel are you bothered?

Wish our lot would all abdicate too

From my understanding, it was expected.
