Queen Margrethe II has made an important decision as she cancelled all her major engagements after damaging her neck and fracturing her hand.

A significant update on her health was recently provided by the former Queen of Denmark, who abdicated her position as monarch in January.

The news was confirmed in a statement sent by Lene Balleby, the Head of Communications for The Royal House of Denmark 

She said: "Her Majesty Queen Margrethe has today been discharged from the Royal Hospital and is now back in her home at Fredensborg Castle.

The statement added, "Queen Margrethe was hospitalised on Wednesday evening after a fall, which unfortunately caused damage around the neck vertebrae as well as a fracture of the left hand.”

Lene continued, "As a result of that unfortunate fall, the left hand is now in plaster, and the Queen will have to wear it for the coming months and a stiff neck collar.”

"Queen Margrethe is in good spirits and under the circumstances well, but will, however, be on sick leave for a longer period,” noted in a statement.

She stated, "It also means that the Queen's attendance at a number of events has been cancelled in the coming time."

A post on social media read: "Her Majesty Queen Margrethe was discharged from Rigshospitalet today and is now back at her home Fredensborg Palace."

Notably, the queen decided to leave the throne after undergoing "extensive back surgery" in February 2023.
