She is perfectly prepared for the Christmas holidays! Queen Margrethe (83) has been sitting on the Danish throne for more than 50 years – making her the longest-serving female head of state in the world since the death of Queen Elizabeth II (✝96). In her everyday life as a monarch, she is supported by a lot of staff. But there’s one thing she doesn’t miss: Margrethe packs the presents for her loved ones herself!
The 83-year-old is now proving this to the royal fans on the official Instagram account of the Danish royal family: Margrethe cuts the wrapping paper herself and with a lot of love and puts a red bow on the packages. But she also lends a hand to the decoration herself and enjoys making the “Nissers” that are typical of Denmark.
And how is the Danish ruler spending Christmas this year? According to the Danish magazine Her & Nu, Margrethe is celebrating Christmas this year with her two sons Prince Joachim (54) and Prince Frederik (55). The previous year, the Danish royal family had spent Christmas apart from each other. The reason for this was the tense atmosphere because Margrethe withdrew her grandchildren’s titles, which caused her son Joachim to be very offended.
