Queen Margrethe of Denmark has been hospitalized with a blood collection near her hip and mild dehydration, the Danish royal court said.

Margrethe was admitted on Sunday after feeling unwell. “Queen Margrethe is in good spirits and, under the circumstances, doing well,” the court said in a statement.

Her hospital stay means she will miss the funeral of Norway's King Harald on Wednesday. Several Nordic and other royal families are expected to attend.

Margrethe has been hospitalized several times this year, including for a blood collection in her hip that reportedly developed after a fall. She underwent heart surgery in May.

Born in 1940, Margrethe is the daughter of Denmark's King Frederik IX and Princess Ingrid of Sweden. She is a cousin of Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf and has two sons, Frederik and Joachim. In 2024, she abdicated and handed the throne to her eldest son, now King Frederik X of Denmark.

Queen Margrethe is in good spirits and, under the circumstances, doing well.
