Verdens ældste monarki lever videre. Min kongetroskab er ikke større end til husbehov. Jeg noterede mig dog at svenske TV-nyheder i bedste republikanske ånd, ignorerede både den norske og den danske besvangring. Ganske som jeg havde ventet. Ind imellem vil man gerne overraskes:
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark ‘Pregnant’
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is pregnant and expecting to give birth at the end of October.
Australian-born Mary, who married Crown Prince Frederik in a lavish ceremony last May at Copenhagen’s Lutheran cathedral, plans to deliver the baby at Copenhagen’s university hospital, the palace said in a brief statement.
The child will be second in line of succession to the throne. Frederik, the 35-year-old heir to the Danish throne, is Queen Margrethe’s eldest son.
Denmark has Europe’s oldest monarchy, founded by the Viking king Gorm the Old, who died in 958.
