Professor emerita Lisbet Christoffersen, a leading Danish expert at the intersection of law, state and religion, takes the audience through how Denmark changes its royal couple and what it means when the old queen "abdicated".
The talk draws threads back to Danish history and to the stories of the kings in the Bible, asking whether these ancient narratives still mirror what we expect of a royal couple today. The afternoon is set in the wake of the change of regent in January 2024, a date that coincided with the Books of Kings being read in Danish churches.
