Danish Queen Margrethe (86) hospitalized after falling ill

Former Danish Queen Margrethe has been hospitalized in Copenhagen for observation and treatment after falling ill. Her condition is stable, but she will miss the upcoming funeral of King Harald of Norway due to her recovery.

Former Danish Queen Margrethe has been admitted to Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen following a sudden illness. According to the Danish Royal House, the 86-year-old monarch is in good spirits and recovering under medical supervision. She is expected to remain in the hospital for the duration of the week for continued observation and necessary treatment.

Due to her hospitalization, Margrethe will be unable to attend the funeral of King Harald of Norway, which is scheduled for Wednesday in Oslo. This recent health issue follows a previous hospital stay in May. Margrethe abdicated from the throne in 2024 after more than fifty years of service, citing health concerns as one of the primary reasons for her decision. Although her eldest son, Frederik, has since succeeded her as monarch, she retains the title of Queen and continues to perform various official royal duties.
