Queen Margrethe II of Denmark's Health Scare in the Capital
Danish Monarch Queen Margrethe II receives hospital treatment. - Danish Monarch Queen Margrethe II Undergoes Hospitalization
Step into the capitol city of Copenhagen, Denmark, where the venerable Queen Margrethe II found herself admitted to Rigshospitalet. The 85-year-old monarch, known for her resilience, was under observation after suffering from a common cold.
Queen Margrethe, who turned 85 on April 16, was last publicly seen attending a commemoration service for Denmark's liberation from Nazi German occupation during World War II. Her celebrations, however, were short-lived, as health concerns arose soon after.
The beloved Queen famously stepped down from the Danish throne last year, marking the end of a 52-year reign. On January 14, 2024, she graciously passed the sceptre to her eldest son, King Frederik X, while retaining her respected title as Queen. Her health has been a concern in recent times, and this hospitalization echoes her fall in the autumn of 2024 and subsequent operation.[1][2]
