In Copenhagen, the Director of Communications for the Royal Household of Denmark, Ms. Nina Z. Munch-Perrin, has announced that Her Majesty Queen Margrethe of Denmark has been discharged from Rigshospitalet and has returned to Fredensborg Slot.

According to the Royal Household, Queen Margrethe is doing well but must continue to rest following her discharge from the hospital, as was also the case after her previous discharge on May 19th.

The Royal Household further stated that Queen Margrethe’s participation in forthcoming official engagements will continue to be assessed on an ongoing basis. At present, no changes have been made to previously announced engagements.

Queen Margrethe was admitted to Rigshospitalet on May 25th, 2026, following the discovery of a larger blood accumulation in the hip region resulting from a fall at Fredensborg Slot on September 18th, 2024.

Earlier in May, on May 14th, 2026, Queen Margrethe was also admitted to Rigshospitalet after suffering a heart attack. The Royal Household confirmed at the time that she had undergone a balloon angioplasty procedure involving one of the coronary arteries of the heart.

Queen Margrethe abdicated the throne on January 14th, 2024, after more than 52 years as Sovereign of the Kingdom of Denmark. Upon her abdication, her eldest son, Frederik, acceded to the throne.

Since her abdication, Queen Margrethe has continued to participate in selected public engagements and cultural patronages, although her public appearances have become increasingly limited in recent years following several health-related absences and medical procedures.
