Margrethe II has not been a reigning monarch since January 14, 2024, when she voluntarily abdicated in favor of her son, Frederik X.

The queen's condition is being closely monitored, and it is still unclear how long her recovery will take. However, the royal household has not provided details about her prognosis.

The queen has frequently been in the news in the past due to her health and her role as a former monarch. Her current hospitalization marks the second time in a short period that she has been in the hospital.
