A statement released on behalf of the 86-year-old, released on May 25, read: “Her Majesty Queen Margrethe has been admitted to Rigshospitalet and has been treated, after a CT scan showed a large blood clot in the hip region as a result of a previous fall.” The statement continued: “It is expected that Queen Margrethe will now be hospitalised for a number of days. Her Majesty is doing well under the circumstances.”
Her latest treatement comes just 11 days after Amaleinborg Palance announced the Danish Queen – who abdicated in January 2024, was undergoing treatment at the same hospital after suffering a heart attack.
A statement at the time revealed that she still remained “in good spirits”, and added: “Queen Margrethe will be hospitalized over the weekend for observation and further examinations”.
Speaking after her release from hospital on May 20, Queen Mary of Denmark said of her mother-in-law: “She is doing much better. And fortunately, she is now on her way home to Fredensborg”.
She also added that she was happy to have Queen Margrethe living close by in order to provide family support.
The 54-year-old said: “Now we are neighbors, so it’s absolutely wonderful. Yes, it’s great.”
Following her abdication, the Queen has continued royal duties – but has had to step back on a number of occasions due to her health.
She has previously been hospitalised for once after a fall and once when she contracted a cold.
