Queen Margrethe of Denmark is back in hospital just a week after being discharged.
The royal, 86, was admitted to Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen on Monday as her family, including son King Frederik, completed the annual Royal Run nearby.
The House of Glücksburg is experiencing a very delicate moment due to the Queen’s health after she suffered angina on 14 May and, due to her age, was hospitalised.
The Royal House has now issued a new statement reporting a re-admission, which, it indicates, is related to a previous fall.
The official statement
The Royal House, headed by King Frederik X, has informed the media that the Queen “has been admitted to Rigshospitalet and is receiving treatment after a CT scan revealed a large blood clot in her hip area as a result of a previous fall.”
However, despite the seriousness of the medical report, they emphasised that Margrethe “is doing well under the circumstances,” although “she is expected to remain hospitalised for several days”.
This new development comes while the Queen was enjoying her personal break and the rest of the Royal Family – King Frederik and Queen Mary, along with their children – were participating in the Royal Run, the traditional fun run of the Danish monarchy, where they became the stars of the day.
However, the new complication related to the King’s mother’s health has ended up capturing all the attention.
The day is usually marked by relaxation but has come amid increasing concerns surrounding the health of Queen Margrethe.

She has distanced herself from the public agenda since then, following medical instructions.
The Queen’s latest appearances
On 30 April, the Queen made her last public appearance during the celebrations for King Carl XVI Gustaf’s 80th birthday in Sweden.

The past few days have been marked by concern and constant communication from other European royal families, who are going through one of their most delicate periods due to health problems affecting several key royal figures.
Queen Margrethe of Denmark, Queen Sonja of Norway, and Princess Astrid, sister of King Harald, have all experienced various medical episodes that have kept the Scandinavian monarchies on high alert.
Official statements continue to be released informing the public of any updates and progress.
