This video, kindly dug up by Izzie.
Is a direct consequence of my post above.
It is about the transition that is taking place within the DRF and were M&F take over more and more also in regards to how things are done within the DRF. And that fact is becoming more and more official with recent statement being co-signed by both QMII and M&F even though QMII is still formally the Monarch and head of state.
In this clip a journalist from the serious conservative and pro-DRF (but not uncritical) newspaper Berlingske is talking about just that.
I'll translate the subtitles as they appear by sentence.
Q: Is it a good idea that the DRF changes style?
(All the following is said by the journalist.)
(Intro) - The CP-Couple does it in a different way than mother Margrethe would have done it.
- There has come a more openness and more down to earth.
- But it's also on another level where you are more in sync with the times.
- The CP-Couple does it in a different way than mother Margrethe would have done it.
- She has done it in her way, which is a little more aloof/distant.
- Simplified and too simply put, it's a bit like accepting some flowers, give some speeches, say the right things at New Year (the speech) and sit in the box in the Royal Theater.
- A more distant/withdrawn role as a royal.
- Frederik and Mary have chosen to do it in a different way.
- Perhaps also in order to become relevant in the future to a new Denmark and to new groups/segments of the society.
- So it has been decided to use the fact that they are well-known and royals to make an effort to make Denmark a better place to live.
- It's about putting themselves in the lead for different things like women's rights.
- The entire segment is not in the DR1 archive yet, but when it is, you can find it here:
