This decision was revealed during her traditional New Year's speech to the nation on December 31.Queen Margrethe II, who ascended to the throne in 1972 following the death of her father, King Frederik IX, has been the regent of Denmark for 52 years. Her reign, characterized by significant cultural and societal transformations, has seen Denmark evolve into a modern, progressive nation.The Queen's abdication sets the stage for Crown Prince Frederik, her eldest son, to become the King of Denmark.Denmark may not be in many Americans minds, but it has really great stats in health, quality of life, etc. compared to us. I see this is one of the many signs of change that are coming in 2024. I hope it is a good one.

Visited Denmark back in the late '70s or early 80s. While viewing the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen (Hans Christian Anderson) I was stung by a bee. Got real sleepy fast. Last time I was stung by a bee.  |

Sorry about the bee Tenn. When the BMW might have been a Volvo I thought about picking it up in Norway or Denmark.
