H.M. Queen Margrethe 2nd of Denmark celebrates her 40th Jubilee as Reign.
The Danish monarchy can be traced back in history as far as to the Viking king Gorm the Old (d. 958). Though Denmark is one of the oldest monarchies in the World, a 40th jubilee for a monarch is a very rare occasion.

On January 14th at 10:30 pm (CET) CNN Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
will show a half hour long interview with HM Queen Margrethe.
