The Danish Royal Court announced on Sunday evening that Queen Margrethe has been admitted to the Rigshospitalet.
In a press release, Nina Munch-Perrin, the Head of Communications for the Danish Royal Court, said that Queen Margrethe has been diagnosed with a new blood clot in her hip region and mild dehydration and that both conditions are being treated.
“Queen Margrethe is in good spirits and, given the circumstances, is doing well,” the statement continued.
The royal will be hospitalised for a period this week while she undergoes observation and treatment, which means that Queen Margrethe will not be able to attend the funeral of King Harald on Wednesday as previously announced.
Queen Margrethe was hospitalised in May for a heart attack, and again later that month after a CT scan revealed a large blood clot in the hip region after a fall. On both occasions, Queen Margrethe was discharged after a few days.
The Danish Royal Court will provide updates when there is news.
