"The Queen was respected in Greenland, but the new king will be loved"
"Despite increasing criticism of Denmark, the royal family has secured a special place in Greenlandic hearts through their understanding of differences. On Sunday January 14th Queen Margrethe II of Denmark will leave the throne to her son, Frederik, Awho is even more popular in Greenland"
"Since the annoucement my Facebook has been flooded by people posting their own photos, standing arm in arm with Frederik. He really is a man of the people, and as the king, he will be loved in Greenland"

Very informative. It was interesting to read about for instance the discrepancy between the royals' personal popularity and the lower popularity of the Danish establishment and relationship with Denmark in general, and the royal family's displays of political solidarity with Greenlanders against international efforts to ban seal hunting by wearing sealskin on their visits.
