@ScheilDr Das ist doch offensichtlich ein Ausschnitt aus der Wochenschau o.ä. Das kann doch keine Neuigkeit sein?

@forummapping You say five but show six. What’s it going to be?

@cusackandrew Last (hopefully) addendum: the Norwegians are still actual Glücksburgs, too (about to change in the next generation).
