At the beginning of the year, she abdicated as queen and left the throne to her son Frederik. Now the former Danish regent Margrethe (84) has been overthrown and hospitalized.
Danish Queen Margrethe II (84) is in hospital after a fall in her summer residence. This was announced by a court spokeswoman to the Ritzau news agency. According to the report, Margrethe fell on Wednesday evening at Fredensborg Castle north of Copenhagen. She is doing well under the circumstances, but will remain in Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, for observation for the time being, the spokeswoman said. The royal family’s website states that Margrethe’s planned participation in an event on Friday has been cancelled.
At the beginning of the year, the Queen had left the throne to her son, now King Frederik X (56), after 52 years of reign. She justified her abdication by saying, among other things, that she was concerned about her health. In 2023, Margrethe underwent major back surgery. Margrethe, who has retained her title of Queen despite resigning, has been using a walking stick for public appearances for some time.
