Margrethe II, The beloved Queen of Denmark, is another Royal

in  Denmark .

Margrethe is Queen now for 40 years and celebrated her Ruby Jubilee
She is renown for her sense of style and her paintings under the name of
Ingahild Grathmer .
 She is also a chain smoker.lol

A daughter of King Frederik 1X  and Ingrid of Sweden,
the Queen married a  French diplomat Count Henri de Laborde de Monpezat .
They had two boys
Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim.

She was born in 1940, one week after Germany invaded Denmark.
(These must have been fun times.)

She speaks 5 languages Danish, French, English, Swedish and German.

 With respect to tolerance she said:
"There are some things for which one should display no tolerance.
And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of
convenience or conviction."
