The health of Margaret of Denmark has once again placed the Danish royal family in the news spotlight. The queen emeritus, 86 years old, was admitted this Thursday afternoon to the Rigshospitalet de Copenhague after suffering a angina pectoris and this Friday he underwent a balloon angioplasty in a coronary artery, as reported by the danish royal house.
The official statement, signed by the palace’s head of communication, Nina Z. Munch-Perrin, indicates that Margarita will remain in the hospital for “a few more days”, as had already been indicated in the first communication on Thursday. The note adds that His Majesty is “in good condition”.
The queen emeritus had been hospitalized on Thursday afternoon due to angina. In that first part, the royal house explained that Margaret of Denmark She would be admitted over the weekend for observation and new tests, and stated that she was tired, although “in good spirits.”
Post surveillance
The information disseminated in Denmark by Ritzau, collected by Danish media, indicates that angioplasty removes a narrowing or blockage in a coronary artery so that blood reaches the heart muscle better. Gunnar Gislason, head of research at the Danish Heart Foundation, has lowered the alarm by describing the intervention as a procedure that, in general, should not be considered worrying, although he recalled that coronary heart disease may require subsequent monitoring.
The episode comes just over two years after the historic abdication of Margaret II. The monarch gave the throne to her son, the rey Federico Xon January 14, 2024, after 52 years of reign. In recent years, his health had already marked part of his public agenda: in February 2023 underwent major back surgeryan intervention that she herself later linked to her reflection on the future of the Crown.
Schedule May 23
For now, the official agenda of the danish royal house maintains the next public commitment of Margaret of Denmark for May 23. That day the queen emeritus is scheduled to attend the revival of ‘Fyrtøjet’ (‘The Tinderbox’) at the Tivoli Pantomime Theater in Copenhagen, at 8:00 p.m. The quote also has a special meaning for her: Margarita has been closely linked to the world of set design and costumesone of his great artistic passions.
