According to Hello! The magazine reported on February 17 local time that before undergoing back surgery, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark opened her heart, and the 82-year-old talked about her royal family, her inheritance and relationships with members of the royal family of other royal countries. At the same time, she also explained for the first time "without embellishment" why she stripped her four grandchildren of the titles of prince and princess.
It is reported that Margaret II will be sent to the operating table on the 22nd of this month. The queen, who has reigned for 51 years, has been plagued by back problems for some time, and the recent situation is even more grim. On the advice of a medical specialist, she was about to undergo surgical intervention.
After the surgery, Margrethe II is expected to remain in the health center for long-term rehabilitation. This means that royal work that would otherwise require her will be postponed, cancelled, or done by other royals.
Margrethe II last made his public appearance in mid-January at the funeral of Constantine II in Athens, Greece.
Wearing mourning clothes at that time, she seemed to be in a very good spirit, smiling and greeting the crowd of onlookers.
At the age of 82, Constantine II, the last king of Greece, went into exile after being deposed, but was allowed to return to Greece in his later years. Of course, he did not have a bad life in a foreign country, after all, there were relatives all over Europe. He was the brother-in-law of Margaret II and married Margaret's youngest sister, Princess Anne-Marie, in 1964 and had five children.
In the interview with Margrethe II, people are most concerned about why she insisted on stripping her youngest son, Prince Joachim, of the title of four children.
The incident caused an uproar, and Joachim was clearly angry and publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with his mother. In addition, the prince's ex-wife, Wen Yali, known as the "Chinese princess", also publicly complained about her two sons.
This time Margaret told the truth, there is no such high-sounding reason as "streamlining", only "deep love". She said it would have been better for her as an "old lady" to do so as not to burden the crown prince's eldest son: "It is important to me that Frederick should never make such a decision." ”
And from Margaret's statement, it can be seen that what she can do now is to "clear the obstacles" for her eldest son and make the royal family more "pure". This still seems a bit cruel, but for the sake of long-term interests, she would rather sacrifice some people and at the same time let herself be "name-called".
In fact, Margaret began a similar operation several years ago, keeping only the royal allowance of her eldest grandson Christian, and the rest of her grandchildren, who had to fend for themselves when they became adults. This is also why the former Prince of Nikolai, now Count Nikolai, wants to become a male model, and he himself admits that this is not a career, but a means of subsistence.
Margaret said in the interview that she is confident that her eldest son, Frederick, and her eldest grandson, Christian, will carry on her legacy well and will be supported and loved by the Danish people, just as they have supported her for more than half a century.
Margaret also spoke of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who she described as "a role model" and "a wonderful and simple person." She said that they not only have family affection, but also deep friendship. As for the turmoil caused by Harry in the British royal family, Margaret tactfully said, "I will be sad if they say something they shouldn't say."
If all goes well, Margrethe II will visit England on May 6 this year to attend the coronation of Charles III at Westminster Abbey.
