The 82-year-old head of state, who has been on the throne for half a century, has cancelled her appointments for the week. She attended Queen Elizabeth's funeral in London on Monday.

Queen Margrethe, who has been vaccinated against the coronavirus, was also diagnosed with COVID-19 in February this year, showing mild symptoms at the time. A palace spokesperson declined to give further comment on Wednesday.
