Press release: HM Queen Margrethe discharged from Rigshospitalet

Her Majesty Queen Margrethe was discharged from Rigshospitalet today and is now back in her home at Fredensborg Palace.  
 
On Wednesday evening, Queen Margrethe was admitted to the hospital after a fall, which unfortunately resulted in an injury concerning the vertebrae of the neck as well as a fracture in the left hand. As a result of the fall, the left hand is now in a plaster cast, and The Queen will need to wear a stiff neck collar in the coming months.
  
Queen Margrethe is in good spirits and is doing well under the circumstances but will, however, be in recovery for a longer period of time. This also means that The Queen’s presence at a number of arrangements is cancelled for some time to come.
