Denmark's queen of hip replacements and back surgeries, 85-year-old Margrethe, checked out of Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen on Saturday, where she'd been kept for observation since catching a friggin' cold. The royal palace reported that the old girl's doing just dandy now and has boomeranged back to Fredensborg Palace.

Give It a Read

The queen had given her cold a grudging welcome two days prior on May 4th. It was originally assumed to be a minor bout, but as she had stayed out of sight since her last public appearance on Denmark's Nazi liberation commemoration day, there were suspicions it was more than a mere sniffle.

The queen has been ruling the roost in Scandinavia for a whopping 52 years, but she handed over the reins to her eldest son Frederick in January, following a major spinal procedure in 2023[1][2][3]. Her Majesty has faced a string of health struggles in her twilight years, including a spell in the hospital over the autumn due to a tumble[1].

On the Mend

Margrethe had to knock her attendance at the Sankt Lukas Foundation's 125th anniversary celebration on the head due to her illness, but with this tricky cold matter taken care of, she's raring to go[1][2]. As she's still Her Majesty, Queen Margrethe, she's got a busy schedule of engagements ahead, even with her reduced duties as a former monarch[3].
