DANISH QUEEN TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID

  • 21/09/2022

The Danish Royal Court has confirmed that the Queen of Denmark tested positive for Covid-19 a second time this year. After receiving her diagnosis on Tuesday night, Queen Margrethe II cancelled all of her appointments for this week.


2,000 people attended Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral on Monday, including the 82-year-old monarch. After the passing of the British monarch, she has been the head of state for the longest in Europe. She and Queen Elizabeth were third cousins, both being descended from Queen Victoria.

Queen Margrethe has been vaccinated against Covid and last tested positive in February this year when she presented mild symptoms. In a statement on the palace website, a spokesperson said she would be recovering at Fredensborg Palace, north of Copenhagen.
