Queen Margrethe II has been rushed to hospital after facing a major health issue.
The Danish Royal Family took to their official Instagram Stories on Sunday, September 6, to share a major update, reporting that Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II has been admitted to Rigshospitalet after feeling unwell.
According to the Royal House, Margrethe was diagnosed with mild dehydration and a new blood cloth in the hip region.
“Her Majesty Queen Margrethe was admitted to Rigshospitalet on Sunday after feeling unwell,” read the statement.
It continued, “A new blood clot in the hip region and mild dehydration have been diagnosed, both of which are being treated. Queen Margrethe is in good spirits and is doing well under the circumstances.”
The Royals also shared that King Frederik’s mother will remain under observation and will receive further treatment at the hospital for the next week.
Due to her hospitalization, her daughter-in-law Queen Mary, who was scheduled to attend Norway’s King Harald V’s funeral on September 9, has cancelled her appearance at the somber event.
“Queen Margrethe is expected to be hospitalized next week for both observation and treatment. This means that Her Majesty will unfortunately not attend King Harald's funeral in Oslo on Wednesday. The Royal House will announce when there is news,” the statement concluded.
Queen Margrethe’s sudden hospitalization comes more than three months after she underwent a surgery at Rigshospitalet.
At the time, she underwent a balloon angioplasty of a coronary artery.
