Denmark’s former Queen Margrethe II, 86, is hospitalized for the third time this year and will not attend King Harald V of Norway’s funeral on Wednesday. She is being treated at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, according to reports.
Margrethe II abdicated in 2023, so she no longer serves as head of state. Multiple outlets report that she was admitted to Rigshospitalet on September 6. The reports focus on the impact on her public schedule, particularly her absence from the Norwegian state funeral. Other details of her medical condition are not specified in the excerpts provided, and coverage does not indicate a different medical explanation or prognosis across the sources.
