Mary and crown prince Frederik on the balcony of Amalienborg Castle, royal wedding on May 14, 2004. A huge crowd cheered for the couple! Used to the Swiss base democratic principles I was horrified to see this worshiping of monarchs. 200 years ago a lot of people in France lost their head during revolution to gain the right to vote. Or they left Europe to seek freedom overseas. And nowadays people worship the monarchs again and voluntarily ;-)
