Totally agree, that it looks cleaner. It’s the royal coat of arms, so it doesn’t represent Denmark as a nation, only the royal family.
I’m not very royally inclined, so whatever you say about their coat of arms have no effect on me. I see them at best, as a very expensive PR team for the nation, or if I was to put it in a mean way, a very expensive social welfare program
The state version is a simpler version of crowned shield.
The three lions are known to be used for 800+ years
As for the steamboat in the flag of Florida: I’m sure people also would protest if it was updated to a cruise ship 😛
Honestly I’m always a bit shocked when I hear a country has a king. Like obviously I know England has a royal family but when it’s like “the king of Denmark decided-” I’m always thinking “they still have a king? Why do they still have a king? I thought we all decided we weren’t doing that anymore?”
I guess the best way to explain it is if you heard in the news “a slave revolt in Florida killed three today” your first thought would be “wait… They’re still doing slaves over there? I just assumed we were all done with that”
Probably a stupid question but have you guys ever considered… Not having royalty? Like I get why England does it, it’s a tourist attraction, Buckingham palace, those guard who don’t move for whatever reason (which honestly is silly because what I want most out of my hired guards is… Moving around and doing guard stuff) but there money in that I’m sure.
I got to say Denmark sounds beautiful and I’d love to visit sometime. I wouldn’t go by the royal family’s house. Didn’t even know you guys had one.
You guys could just… You know … Stabbing motion get rid of that dead weight. But I suppose it’s not my business. I should probably just focus on managing my slaves… Some of them learned to read recently so I need to put a stop to that.
Edit: On the other hand you’re probably one of those countries with like healthcare, no school shootings, and bike lanes. So maybe kings are the way to go.
