Queen Margrethe II of Denmark

Recommended Posts

Must be a fair chance of a time with no reigning Queen as she is six years older than the King of Sweden (Whose Heir is his daughter) so will probably go first.

Hasn't the King of Sweden had some significant health problems though?

I don't like the thought of a world without any Queens!

Not sure, the King of Norway sure has. But Carl XVI Gustaf's two predecessors, his grandfather and grandfather's father both lived to their nineties, 92 and 90 (and two of his uncles lived to 94 and 95) and he's only 76 with as far as I know no major health problems. Could live another 15+ years, but I think there's a chance he could abdicate at some point in the near future as his daughter seems to be much more popular.

I wondered why the Guardian said that she's Europe's only Queen, i.e. where in the world do we have a queen? The arab world, no? Japan, no? 

 

This wiki list doesn't have any other queen:

And the Sultan of Brunei is reigning longer than Margarethe...

If Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands hadn't abdicated we would now have two Queens  but Margrethe now about to celebrate her golden jubilee of fifty years on the throne may get a psychological  and emotional boost from reaching that milestone  that will keep hee going a bit longer as well as determination to maybe fight and battle on knowing she is the last Queen standing!

She will die as a queen like Elizabeth. Can't see her give up the throne.

You mean like the same way the Queen's Platinum Jubilee gave her a psychological and emotional boost to continue, just 3 months ago...

No thats not what I mean. Well there is abit of a difference  between  82 and 96!!

Besides maybe it worked in reverse here and it was a desire to reach the platinum jubilee that helped keep the  Queen going as long as she did.

The late Queen has rather inconsiderately ruined Margrethe’s Golden Jubilee twice by dying.

Margrethe seemed distraught at one point during the funeral.

Queen Margrethe will undergo extensive back surgery on February 22. The Queen canceled some official duties last week because of back pain; she also cancelled her private vacation in Norway.

That sounds slightly suspicious.

In a similar way to a relative of hers with similar movement issues?

Only because of her back operation.
