The court is treated to a set of new photos of the majesty.
At the end of last year, the Danish Queen Margrethe turned her own life upside down by announcing her abdication, to everyone’s shock. The enterprising aunt can now enjoy her retirement for a while, but what does that actually look like? The Danish court shared a behind-the-scenes look for her birthday.
Abdication
On January 14th the time had come: on her 52nd birthdaye On the anniversary of the throne, Margrethe resigned as Danish queen. My son took office as His Majesty King Frederik X, and Margrethe was finally able to enjoy her retirement at the age of 83.
Or well… about two weeks after her abdication, Margrethe was allowed to work as regent again, because the royal couple enjoyed a skiing holiday with their offspring. The many snapshots of Margrethe on the Instagram account of the Danske Kongehus also show that the queen is still not sitting still. For example, Marge still regularly shows up at royal events in the field of culture and science.
Birthday
And today the court shares a set of new images of the Danish lady, taken in Fredensborg. Dachshund Tillia also makes an appearance in one of the snapshots. Sweet!

Given the outfit, we’re guessing the snaps were taken last week on the day Her Majesty presented the annual science prize named after her.

The royal family writes in the cheerful birthday snapshots: “For the occasion, new photos of Her Majesty have been published, which were taken in Fredensborg. Queen Margrethe is celebrating her birthday today at the same location in the presence of family and friends.” And that means: enjoying a day with the kids and grandchildren!
Pension
Although Margrethe continues to work for the Danish court, the former queen also has plenty of time to devote herself to all her hobbies. It is of course known that Her Majesty is a gifted artist and designer, who regularly collaborates with the Royal Ballet of Denmark. It is also known that Marge likes to put together her own clothes.
The queen recently even won prizes for her creative skills. The Netflix series Erhrengard: The Art of Seduction was awarded a prestigious Robert Award – a kind of Danish Oscar – for the beautiful historical costumes.
Who knows: perhaps Margrethe will now devote herself to her designs with full dedication, and the royal family will soon receive even more prestigious prizes. For the time being, we hope that the former queen can at least enjoy her birthday celebration a little. Congratulations – or as they say in Denmark: tillykke med fødselsdagen, your highness!
