  • Queen Margrethe of Denmark has been readmitted to Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen for treatment.
  • X-ray examinations revealed a significant blood clot in her hip region, resulting from a previous fall.
  • The Queen is expected to remain hospitalized for a few days and is reportedly in stable condition following recent cardiac treatment.

Queen Margrethe of Denmark has been admitted to Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen for further medical treatment, the Danish Royal House announced on Monday. According to a press release, X-ray examinations have identified a substantial blood clot in the hip area, a condition stemming from an earlier fall. The Queen is anticipated to stay at the hospital for several days. Despite the circumstances, her condition is described as stable. This latest admission follows a recent period of hospitalization for cardiac issues. Last Tuesday, the 86-year-old monarch was discharged after being admitted the previous Thursday for heart cramps. During that hospital stay, she underwent a balloon angioplasty to widen a coronary artery, a procedure aimed at improving blood flow to the heart by clearing blockages. Following her discharge, she returned to her residence at Fredensborg Palace.
