I saw someone say that it barely made news in Denmark and is only getting headlines internationally

I was so shocked, they’ve been saying it for years-but to actually witness history in the making was wild.

It was very moving.

I have a soft spot for Daisy, but I’m not sure Frederik and Mary will be quite as beloved (especially considering his indiscretions).

Are you danish?
Is my impression correct that people do like mary?

[cstoffer]

Yeah, I am:) They both poll very favourable among the general public, I think her a bit higher than him.

Do you get a lot of annoying Australians rolling into town asking if you like her, and by extension, us as well :b?

Asking because that’ll be me in the New Year, I’m so excited!!!
