part of the two million danes, who followed the queen’s new year speech from the modtagelsesværelset in Christian IX’s mansion at Amalienborg palace in Copenhagen, hoping for a surprise, as in ’15, as she indicated, Prince Henrik went on pension.
But they were disappointed.
the King spoke in his 48. talk in the 11 minutes a little bit of everything.
– It was an absolutely ubemærkelsesværdig and entirely conventional in the new year. It lacked edge, believes Sebastian Olden-Jørgensen, associate professor of Danish history at Copenhagen University.
She remsede up on anniversaries; 80 years of the 9. april, moon landings, then it is universally human about loneliness and the climate crisis. Then some findings that anti-semitism is an ugly thing. Which there can be no disagreement, he says.
Then she takes the usual turn around in the Kingdom: A nice nod to southern denmark, Greenland, the Faroe islands, danes abroad, the deployed soldiers and the danes in the work of the new year’s eve. It was neatly and properly, he says.

In this light, it was surprising that she didn’t really themed this very important historic event.
