I along with millions of others are still waiting for our reparations from Denmark. Due to the historic trauma caused by the oppression from the Viking invasion. Let's hope the new Monarch can right this wrong.

I think 1807 went some way to clearing the debt.
Isn't it something like the longest continuous line of succession in the world?
Ours is basically fabricated.

Not quite. Frederick will be King and Head of State. His Australian wife will be Queen but not Head of State.

Most of our royal family is very well liked. A recent European poll had them as Europe's most loved royals, with our Queen being top. Her son, our next King as second most loved. Am not a massive royalist but I do like her a lot. Her son and his Australian missus as well and I must admit I got a bit emotional watching her New Year's speech last night. Reading my morning paper today that feeling returned. How she managed to keep it a secret till her live telly speech beats me but it's great that she pulled it off. I think most Danes reckon she has done herself and all of us proud throughout the decades and that she will be missed. But also that now is probably the right time, too. Am sure she leaves the top spot in perfect hands.

I meant to reply to confirm that it is the longest continuous line of succession in the world
She’s done well to get only a two week notice period. I’d have thought that position is at least three or six months.
The House of Oldenburg dynasty rose to prominence when Count Christian I of Oldenburg was elected as King of Denmark in 1448, of Norway in 1450 and of Sweden in 1457. The house has occupied the Danish throne ever since.

As a comparison, since 1448 England, then Great Britain has been ruled by the Houses of Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart, Civil War, Stuart, Orange, Hanover, Saxe-Coberg and Gotha, Windsor.

Do you have any plans to abdicate as queen of Hetton? If you did it might free up more time for you to spend on here...
Queen Margrethe: Will abdication cause a ripple effect?
Nordic monarchies are known to embrace modernity. Abdication was one of the few customs they resisted - until now.
