Danish monarch, Queen Margrethe II, has been admitted to a hospital. - Danish Queen Margrethe II has been admitted to a hospital.
Alright, royal gossips! You didn't hear this from me, but the queen of Denmark, the fabulous 85-year-old Margrethe II, has been laid up in the hospital – Rigshospitalet, the grandest medical joint in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, to be exact. Seems she's taken a bit of a chill and they're keeping a close eye on her. Rumor has it, it's just your garden-variety flu, nothing too drastic.
So, what's the big deal, you ask? Well, the queen – or the Danish version of Lizzo, if you will – last graced the public eye on the previous Sunday. She attended a church service commemorating the 80th anniversary of Denmark's liberation from the clutches of those nasty Nazis during World War II.
Farewell, Queen Margrethe II, Long Live Queen Margrethe II!
Margrethe IIø making her grand exit last year, after a staggering 52 years on the Danish throne. January 14, 2024, saw her passing on the crown to her eldest lad, Frederik X. The queen, however, didn't exactly go out like a normal retiree. She still gets to keep the Queen title, which is pretty sweet, eh?
But really, health issues have taken their toll on our girl Margs. Fall of 2024, she spent a few days in the hospital following a fall. And just a couple of months back, she underwent major back surgery. So, her hospital stint this time around shouldn't come as much of a shocker.
Did you hear that? I'm not whispering; it's just a little birdie told me that Queen Margs took a tumble and had to get her back fixed up. Scandalous! Don't tell anyone I told you, though. We don't want the palace guards roughing us up, now do we?
