The Danish Royal Court has issued an update on Queen Margrethe’s health. The Queen of Denmark has for many days now been in isolation after testing positive for Covid-19 on 9 February. Queen Margrethe II was then reported to have mild symptoms and was said to be resting at her home at Christian IX’s Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen.
On 13 February, the following statement was issued by the Royal Court: “After having a mild case of COVID-19, a doctor has today assessed that H.M. The Queen can end her isolation”.
As early as February 21 2022, an official audience has been set up at Christiansborg Palace. It is uncertain whether Queen Margrethe will attend this. The royal calendar nevertheless writes that the Danish queen will participate in an audience on 23 February, when the Duchess of Cambridge arrives in Denmark. It is therefore not known whether Queen Margrethe is traveling to Norway now to resume a planned holiday which was put on hold after she contracted Covid, or whether she will continue to be in Denmark.
The Danish Monarch, who is 81 years old, tested positive just hours after attending the opening of a major new royal exhibition on February 8th 2022. The Danish Royal Household said Margrethe has had to cancel her planned holiday in Norway, where she was due to spend time with King Harald and Queen Sonja, while she recovers.
Queen Margrethe has been vaccinated three times against coronavirus. She got her first dose on January 1, 2021 and her third and finally vaccine at the end of November last year.
