A queen Margaret of Denmark was discharged early on Thursday, September 10. The 86-year-old monarch spent several days in the Rigshospitalet and failed to attend the funeral of King Harald V of Norway.
The Danish Royal House confirmed that the Queen is well and has returned to Fredensborg Palace, where she will rest and be accompanied by a specialized team.
The official statement states that Margarida should “take things calm” in the coming months after having had a new clot in the hip region as well as a slight dehydration.”.
The monarch was admitted as a matter of urgency on 6 September, just days before the farewell of King Harald, of whom he was very close. Margarida and Harald were actually third cousins. In addition, Frederick's mother maintains a close relationship with Queen Sonja and has visited Norway regularly.
Margarida has had some health issues in recent years. In 2025 he suffered a angina pectoris that required medical intervention, balloon angioplasty in one of his coronary arteries. A week after leaving the hospital, she was admitted again with a situation similar to that of now.
