Queen Margrethe has been discharged from Rigshospitalet on Saturday morning.

This is stated on the Royal House's website.

- Her Majesty is well and is now back at the residence at Fredensborg Castle, it is said.

Queen Margrethe was admitted to Rigshospitalet on Thursday for observation due to a cold. This was done "for safety reasons", it was stated from the Royal House on Thursday.

On Friday, the Royal House stated that Queen Margrethe was improving and "in good spirits". It was also stated at the time that it was expected that she would be discharged over the weekend.

Queen Margrethe was scheduled to participate in the celebration of St. Luke's Foundation's 125-year jubilee on Thursday. This was cancelled with the explanation that she had caught a cold.

The next point in Queen Margrethe's calendar is May 22, where she is scheduled to receive the Bible Society's Prize 2025. This point still appears in the Royal House's calendar.

Last year, Queen Margrethe also had to cancel a series of events after a fall at Fredensborg Castle in September 2024.

At that time, she sustained an injury around her neck vertebrae and a fracture on her left hand.

Her hand therefore had to be in a cast, and the queen was expected to wear a stiff neck brace "in the coming months", it was stated at the time from the Royal House.

After the fall, she was admitted to Rigshospitalet for a few days and sick-listed for good one month.

Queen Margrethe celebrated her 85th birthday in April.
