The Danish queen originates from a family who have reigned over the country for 1000 years. In the course of that time a radical political development has taken place, and today Denmark is among the most enlightened democracies in the western world. Nevertheless monarchy has been preserved. How can it be reconciled with democracy? What duties does the queen have? Is she as exalted a person as the king was in the days of absolute monarchy? The film tries to answer questions of this kind.
