Interesting to see Puting smiling in the company of royalty! He's usually looking a little austere in the company of politicians!

Politicians are opponents.
When it's a head of state, Putin can allow himself to turn on the charm.
- And perhaps he view QMII as a more impressive figure than the PM, Lars Løkke?
And we have a few tid bits from Billed Bladet #17, 2011.
The Easter weather this year has been nothing short of perfect! As such we may hope the Regent Couple enjoyed their stay at Marselisborg, because apart from a very old friend, they were alone.
Neither M&F nor M&J visited them
QMII visited a few exhibitions while in Aarhus, but that has already been covered.
When the Regent Couple visit USA in June, QMII will be awarded the title of "Person of the Year". That will take place at the 9. June at a gala dinner at American Museum of Natural History in New York.
The prize will be awarded by The Danish American Society. (*) Among the previous recipients were victor Borge.
(*) I hope American members of this forum will not find my question in poor taste.
I often see Americans defined as Danish American, African Americans, Italian Americans and so on.
Do you use it because it has become politically correct or fashionable to define people like that? Or is it because you feel that definition is a genuine part of your identity?
From my perspective it seems a bit, not odd, but strange I guess. Because when I look at an American, I first and foremost see an American, who may happen to be of say Spanish decend but still primarily an American.
If I am to define myself I'd say Dane first and foremost, then perhaps a Jutlander if I feel like making a point of that, then a European.
