Denmark's former queen Margrethe was hospitalized following an accident at Fredensborg Palace.

The former queen of Denmark, Margrethe, was hospitalized following an accident at Fredensborg Castle. The 86-year-old royal, who transferred the throne to her son King Frederik in January, was still actively carrying out royal duties.

According to a statement from the palace, Queen Margrethe's condition is stable, but she will remain in the hospital for observation as a precaution. Due to this unexpected event, the queen's participation in an event scheduled for Friday at Aarhus University has been canceled.

Margrethe, a distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth, was last seen on Monday at the Rungstedlund Award 2024 ceremony held at the Karen Blixen Museum. In her New Year's speech last year, Margrethe announced her decision to step down from the throne, and since then, she has been sharing royal duties with her son King Frederik.

The accident occurred at Fredensborg Castle, which the royal family uses as their summer residence. This historic building, located on Zealand Island in Denmark, holds special significance for the family.

This incident has raised concerns among the Danish public while also rekindling interest in the royal family. The public is awaiting updates on the health of their former queen. Palace officials have stated that they will continue to keep the public informed about Queen Margrethe's condition.
