Injuries and recovery: A long road ahead
The fall was no minor stumble; the 84-year-old monarch suffered injuries that are nothing short of alarming. A fractured left hand and a damaged neck vertebrae mean Queen Margrethe is now navigating her royal duties with her hand in a plaster cast and her neck supported by a stiff collar. Despite these challenges, the palace assures the public that the Queen is "in good spirits and doing well under the circumstances."
With recovery expected to take "a longer period," many of Queen Margrethe's scheduled appearances have been regretfully canceled. The Queen, known for her resilience, had only recently made the difficult decision to abdicate the throne following "extensive back surgery." Her commitment to her royal responsibilities, even in the face of health challenges, has only endeared her further to her subjects.
