Danish Queen Margrethe discharged from hospital after feeling unwell

Former Danish Queen Margrethe has been released from the hospital after being treated for a hip injury and dehydration. Her recent health issues prevented her from attending the funeral of King Harald of Norway.

Former Danish Queen Margrethe has been discharged from the hospital following a brief stay due to a hip injury and dehydration. The 86-year-old royal was admitted on Sunday after experiencing health issues, which forced her to miss the funeral of King Harald of Norway earlier this week. This recent hospitalization follows a history of health struggles, including cardiac issues earlier this year and a previous hip injury resulting from a fall.

Margrethe abdicated the throne in 2024 after more than fifty years of service, citing health concerns as a factor in her decision. Her eldest son, King Frederik, has since succeeded her as the monarch. Despite stepping down, Margrethe retains her title and continues to perform official duties on behalf of the Danish royal family. Her medical team confirmed her release after she spent several days under observation to address her condition.
