The royal family is well loved by all. I think about them every day.
Republic is bad idea 🤢

The monarchy is very, very popular and there's no real talk about a republic. We also have a state religion and no one cares about that being, in principle, undemocratic either. Democracy is very strong here despite the above. Our new king is very popular and a down to earth kinda guy. I've met him a couple of times and he is downright just a great guy.

The monarchy is still stranding strong. The majority of Danes (outside of Reddit) sees the royal family as an asset to the country.

I am fundamentally opposed to the idea that being born from vagina A instead of vagina B literally puts you above the law. For real, the King is above the law and has to approve all legislation. We are a constitutional monarchy and this is enshrined in our constitution.
However, the topic is extremely (!) low on my list of priorities. The Danish monarchy is very beloved and works quite well. It's part of our cultural history and they do a great job promoting Denmark. Our return on investment is massive.
Should the King ever refuse to sign a law from the elected Parliament it would be the end of our Monarchy.
That's some of my many reasons why I practically care much more about our failing psychiatric healthcare or the potholes down the street before I would waste any effort on turning Denmark into a republic.
