According to reports, Queen Margrethe, who is 84 years old, is currently receiving care at a hospital. This comes after she fell in her home and was subsequently taken to the hospital. It was a surprising move when she decided to step down from the throne earlier this year, making her the first Danish monarch to abdicate in 900 years. Her son, Crown Prince Frederik, is now the new ruler.
The incident occurred at Fredensborg Castle, located north of Copenhagen. The royal household of Denmark has confirmed the news to local media outlets. Thankfully, the Queen's injuries are not severe and she is expected to recover soon. Lene Balleby, the head of communications for the royal household, stated that while the Queen is doing well under the circumstances, she will remain under observation for the time being.
When asked about his mother's condition, King Frederik assured the public that she is in good hands. He made this statement to reporters as he arrived at the 100th anniversary celebration of the Copenhagen Chapel Choir. He also mentioned that they are taking things one day at a time and that the doctors are the ones making the decisions.
Despite stepping down from her royal duties, Queen Margrethe has been keeping busy. She was scheduled to attend the 75th anniversary of the Department of Archaeology at Aarhus University, but unfortunately, this has been cancelled due to her hospitalization. It's no surprise that Margrethe was interested in archaeology, as she studied prehistoric archaeology at Copenhagen University. In fact, she has revealed that if she had not become the monarch of Denmark, she would have pursued a career in this field.
This is not the first time that the Queen has faced health issues. She was previously forced to abdicate due to back surgery and other ailments, despite always stating that she would not give up her crown during her 52-year reign. However, it seems that her support among the Danish population has only grown over the years, with around 80% of the public in favor of the monarchy at the time of her abdication. Comparatively, in the UK, around 65% of the population supports the British monarchy, according to the latest Statista figures.
