I was happy to contribute to this piece by Karen L. Bomholt on the history of royal involvement in the Danish West Indies (US Virgin Islands). The article focuses on the role of Danish kings as shareholders and plantation owners and includes interesting archival materials: www.dr.dk/nyheder/kult...
