Queen Margrethe of Denmark<\/a> has been hospitalised, a spokesperson for the royal court has said.<\/p>\n

The Danish royal, 86, is being treated for Angina at Rigshospitalet hospital and is “tired” and in “good spirits”, the representative said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The queen, who abdicated in 2024<\/a> and passed the throne to her firstborn son Frederik, will remain hospitalised over the weekend for observation and further examinations, it added.<\/p>\n

The former sovereign reigned in the Scandinavian country for 52 years before passing the throne to her eldest son, Frederik, in January 2024.<\/p>\n

Hugely popular among Danes for subtly modernising the monarchy, Margrethe has faced multiple health problems in recent years.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Queen Margarethe was admitted to the hospital with an undisclosed illness. At the time, the royal household stated that she was admitted to Rigshospitalet for “observation as a precaution”.<\/p>\n

After being admitted on 8 May, Queen Margrethe returned to Fredensborg Palace on 10 May when she was discharged from the hospital.<\/p>\n

The Queen’s busy timetable<\/p>\n

Queen Margarethe has had a busy royal timetable of late, with her latest royal outing alongside her daughter-in-law, Queen Mary, resulting in the former monarch having to exchange a stern word<\/a> with the reigning Queen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The royal family, also including Mary’s husband, King Frederik<\/a>, and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, was seen outside Fredensborg Palace to attend a concert by the Royal Life Guards Music Corps for Margrethe’s 86th birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the music played, Tilia, her little dachshund, walked between the royals, with Mary briefly breaking formation to give her a pat on the head. However, Margrethe didn’t seem to appreciate the gesture, shaking her head and appearing to correct her with a firm few words.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One Danish fan told HELLO! that Margethe told Mary: “Jeg tror ikke det er den rette tid til det”, which translates to “I don’t think now is the correct time for that”.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen Margrethe of Denmark has been hospitalised, a spokesperson for the royal court has said.
