However, I don't think Queen Margrethe will retire but serve in a limited role or as needed like her mother, Queen Ingrid.
I am shocked as well. Who was the last Scandinavian monarch to abdicate voluntarily? Chrisina of Sweden?
I'm shocked and surprised and then again I'm not. I am shocked because I didn't expect it nor saw it coming.
But with people living much longer it does make sense.
I wish Her Majesty all her best in her retirement!
