Mette Frederiksen, who has led the country since 2019, was “beaten,” her office said. The police said an arrest had been made, but a motive is unclear.

    I don’t think it’s that common. I met the prime minister of Denmark back in 2005. He had two guards with him. But that was also around the Muhammad cartoons

    In recent years I’ve had some interactions with the crown princess of Denmark. The first time she had two guards. The next few times, she came by herself, car keys in hand

    Our former King Frederick the 9th (1947 to1972) was known for heading to bars in Nyhavn, and drinking with the sailors.

        This kind of king

        He also broke the tradition that kings-to-be get their education in the army, because he wanted to sail, so he went with the navy. That of course explains his tattoos and his fondness of sailor bars

      She definitely has a few agents from the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) around her at all times. They are most often dressed in civilian clothing, but you can see the earpiece, they use to communicate.
