Royale udgydelser - Bøger
One of our Danish-speaking members has very kindly translated the article into English, and here are a few exerpts.
”I understand that it has been difficult for Trine Villemann to piece together her new royal gossip book “The King and Queen of Greenland”. So once again she had to turn to conspiracy theories and homemade conclusions which point in every conceivable direction!"
"The one moment Crown Prince Frederik needs to lose his political virginity, the next he is being attacked for running for the IOC."
"After reading the book it is evident why Politiken Publishers got cold feet and decided against publishing the book, in spite of having published Villemann’s embarrassing “1015-Copenhagen K”." |
Hi Elspeth,
Berlingske Tidende has withdrawn this review because Karen Margrethe Schelin completely misquoted the content of the book. I have also had a correction in the paper and the review has been removed from Berlingske's website. I hope you are well!
