The Danish prince consort, Prince Henrik (the husband to our queen) is dead. Below you can see half-mast flags on the Bridge of Queen Louise. In the US right now a lot of half-mast flags too because of another terrible school shooting. Much worse than the death of an old man that lived a long full life.
Hello.
I just thought I'd let you know that I used your art in a post and will be sending you SBD from the post when it is paid out!
As part of the gift economy I believe in, this is the way I help out artists!
Please keep making your beautiful art!

That's great! It is there to be used and very nice of you to donate, I appreciate that very much. Hope you are emotionally back in shape :)
I'm sorry to hear about Prince Henrik. I truly apologize for being political on here but it breaks my heart that our politicians would happily line their pockets with rifle association money, preach about being pro-life, but then letting children who are supposed to be safe at school, die. I hope that the rest of us sane ones will vote out the greedy assholes in the future. It's so important. I have a 15 year-old and I fear for her safety at school.
Being political is part of being human - and I sympathise with what you are saying. It is strange that a country that has never had a war on its own ground is so violent (except a civil war of course that still seems to haunt you).
As for the Prince... he was an old man who lived an interesting life.
All deaths are sad, but royalty do get a lot of attention for anything they do. I'm trying to imagine what it will be like when our queen dies
I just looked it up - 91 years! Monarchs funerals are big, but Henrik's is not going to be very public. It was his own wish that he just had his ashes scattered over the Danish seas.
The post was mostly just the image of a grey Copenhagen, but then I suddenly fancied the dramatic headline :)
Your royals may be more low key than ours. Some of our papers would be pretty empty without royal stories, but I'm really not interested.
To me they are mainly the people who sign the laws. I pitty them some time. I wouldn't like to be a public person like that, but most of the time I do not think about them. We do have magazines that mainly writes about them, but not so much in the newspapers.
According to people who meet them, my wife amongst others, they are quite low key. I guess they are like the people expect them to be, and in Denmark that is down to earth.
Royals don't seem to have much freedom as they have to meet certain expectations. It's a sort of golden prison :) Just seems an anachronism these days
Rip Prince henrick
