It is difficult to understand why the Queen would feel the need to bring up Denmark’s booming pornographic sector. However, she was warned not to bring up the country’s “reputation as the pornography capital of Europe” when she met Margrethe II during the Queen of Denmark’s royal visit to the UK in 1974. Robert Hardman, a royal biographer and Mail columnist, described how the details were included in a briefing for Her Majesty at the Chalke Valley History Festival. Hardman said that whenever she meets with a world leader, she always carefully examines two files. One is called “personality notes” and the other is “topics to be avoided”.

One paragraph in ‘personality notes’ talks about an unnamed Caribbean prime minister in 1977 who was described as ‘unbalanced, at times to the point of apparent derangement’ and ‘a ladies’ man with a particular liking for blondes’. The pornography paper appeared in the ‘topics to be avoided’ file ahead of the meeting with the Queen of Denmark. It said:
“Danes are sensitive about Denmark’s reputation as the pornography capital of Europe.”
Surely being the porno capital of Europe is something to be proud of? Us Brits would be wearing that title as a badge of honour. In his speech at the festival, Hardman, whose book Queen Of Our Times: The Life Of Elizabeth II was published this year and was supported by the Daily Mail, said to the audience:
“I think two queens are fairly unlikely to stray into that territory.”
Unlikely perhaps, but not impossible. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if both queens were just sitting there gassing away about their favourite porn genres. In Hardman’s discussion, which was funded by The Rothermere Foundation, he also discussed the significance of “wardrobe diplomacy” and the “personal effort” that goes into the Queen’s interactions with international leaders. According to Hardman, she “totally nailed it” at a state banquet during her first official visit to Germany in 1965, which was dubbed “an historic post-war event” because she ordered a dress to fit the rococo style of the palace where it was held. She didn’t need to utter a word; they were completely floored, said Hardman. He continued
“She has become such an institution that she now even has her own entry in the German dictionary. Duden does for German what the Oxford Dictionary does for English.”
The Duden dictionary previously had “die Königin,” which is just your run-of-the-mill queen. However, it now says “die Queen” which is pretty epic. In other news, Bulgaria’s Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha paid tribute to our Queen, calling her ‘blessed person’ as he looked back on her long reign. Simeon, told the Chalke Valley History Festival:
“It’s not ethical or protocol to talk about, with all due respect, a colleague. But I have such endless admiration, not only for the 70 years, but for her wisdom, for Her Majesty’s absolutely professional equanimity. There’s no superlative that I could really find to say what I feel about this blessed person you have as Queen.”
