I am just younger than her reign.

Their royal family is related to the British royal family

The British, German, Russian etc all related, some of those disappeared with the World Wars.

Nice photo

Known as Aunt Daisy to the British royals (Margaret means daisy in many languages), I like her and I like Mary, the Queen consort henceforth, a whole lot as well. Too bad the future king can’t keep his trousers zipped, but it’s probably tradition with any royals anywhere……… anyways, all the best to them all. Everyone deserves a bit of a retirement!

"Too bad the future king can’t keep his trousers zipped, but it’s probably tradition with any royals anywhere"

I think you'll find the plebs have that particular difficulty as well.

She has stood over the decimation of danish culture and their pursuit of multiculturalism.

You say that, but it is reckoned that every white Western European living today, has a direct genetic connection to one or more of the 6 great Kings of the 10th Century, and a significant chunk have a much more recent direct royal connection than that.

In the year 1000, the population of ALL Europe was less than that of England today. Not the UK, just England.

It has increased by 1,300% from 1000 to 2023, so you can see how widespread a shallow royal bloodline can have gotten. You should do the geneological research, its very interesting.

As for me, my bloodline goes back to Charlemagne.

Out of interest how do you know this, DNA testing?

Lizzy should have done it too. Step aside when you have your bit done.

The Danish royal family have had no say in the running of the country since the 18th century. The most interesting thing about them is how the German doctor Struensee became regent, when the King of the time went insane, and made some very progressive reforms until he got executed for a supposed affair with the queen.

It might not be mentioned, but it's implied.

Why would royalty bed the sh1t munchers? And how would they make their way to a rain sodden island like Ireland?

We can see something like this happening in Ireland as the Gaelic order/hereditary law allowed kings to have multiple partners and people within a few generations of the main man were considered part of the ruling class, then they sowed their royal oats and everyone’s cousins are as attractive as a Shelbeyviller.
