being far from a royalist and having zero idea what these ppl are up to, even i was moved when frede stepped out onto the balcony teary-eyed. the amount of ppl was insane. still thinking about the epic mic drop speech margrete made lecturing us even though she cant be political then said u cant fire me i quit. and my son is not gonna go through the same shit i did

I still find the idea weird that merely staying over at a friend's house means you're cheating. There aren't even any compromising pictures.

I know it's based upon the context of the population of Denmark and the people who care, but 'tens of thousands' is so often used in a shady context, it's making me laugh here

All the kings are cheats and deserve the guillotine tbh.

I skipped the event, but the only thing I regret is not seeing the fireworks. Based on my friends' insta stories, they were insanely beautiful.
