        The royals of the UK is a UK matter, I don’t think people outside UK care much about them.
        We have our own Royals, and although I think the principle is morally wrong, they are actually a pretty integral part of our democracy, and have done a good job.
        Most here may not realize this, but for instance we have on occasion had a parliamentary stalemate, that the Queen was instrumental in solving quickly, so government could function normally.
        This is part of the reason Denmark is one of the most stable countries in the world. So most Danes are pragmatic enough to not to try to fix what already works.
        Mind you royalty does NOT interfere in politics, but they facilitate and administrate negotiations in the case parliament can’t decide on who shall run the government.
        Yes our royalty cost money, but probably no more than a similar function that would require a president or some other institution.
