Denmark’s Queen Margrethe, who abdicated in 2024 has been admitted to hospital due to chest pain, the Royal House of Denmark said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The 86-year-old Queen was admitted to Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen’s main hospital, “this afternoon due to angina,” the court said in a statement.<\/p>\n

She will remain in hospital over the weekend for observation and further examinations, the court added.<\/p>\n

“Her Majesty is tired, but in good spirits,” it said.<\/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

She had long vowed that she would never abdicate, but major back surgery in 2023 led to a change of heart.<\/p>\n

Margrethe also has a significant interest in the arts.<\/p>\n

As a designer she won a Danish film award for best costume in 2024 and translated Simone de Beauvoir’s “All Men Are Mortal” under a pseudonym with her late husband, Prince Consort Henrik.<\/p>\n

She has also illustrated several books, including J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.”<\/p>\n
