Palace shares latest update on Queen's health after angioplasty

The Denmark’s royal family has shared new major update on Queen Margrethe health following her angioplasty procedure after being admitted to hospital last week for chest pain.

The palace released statement to uprise the fans about the Queen’s health.

It said, “Queen Margrethe has been discharged from Rigshospitalet today & is returning to Fredensborg Palace.”

It further said, “Queen Margrethe also wishes to thank you for the many kind thoughts & greetings that have been sent to Her Majesty.”

Earlier, the court had said the queen had "a balloon dilation of a coronary artery" at Copenhagen´s main hospital Rigshospitalet, where she was admitted last Thursday.

Margrethe, who abdicated in 2024 and turned 86 on April 16, attended Sweden´s King Carl XVI Gustaf´s 80th birthday in early May.

The former sovereign reigned in the Scandinavian country for 52 years before passing the throne to her eldest son Frederik in January 2024.

Hugely popular among Danes for subtly modernising the monarchy, Margrethe has faced multiple health problems in recent years.

She had long vowed that she would never abdicate, but major back surgery in 2023 led her to change her mind.

Margrethe is known for her significant interest in the arts.

As a designer she won a Danish film award for best costume in 2024 and translated Simone de Beauvoir´s "All Men Are Mortal" under a pseudonym with her late husband, Prince Consort Henrik.
