Big surprise Queen Margaret. Hours before her abdication after 52 years on the throne, the monarch surprised the Danish people this Friday with a striking message at a concert held in Copenhagen in honor of her long reign. Margaret II of Denmark appeared on a giant screen and sent a warm message to all attendees, as well as to the spectators who followed the show from her homes.
From the living room of her residence (Amalienborg Palace), wearing a maroon dress and a red jacket, the still queen expressed her gratitude to the Danish people for the tribute received.
“I don't know how to express my gratitude for the fantastic celebration you have given me. I am almost speechless. I would say I am speechless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who conceived this evening and to everyone who made it happen. God save you all,” said the monarch while breaking into a huge smile.
Following Queen Margaret's words, the audience responded with an avalanche of applause and cheers. As confirmed by the organization, the monarch's appearance came as a surprise after the last performance of the night. The concert was marked by performances by great groups from the Nordic country.

After 52 years on the throne, the only woman at the head of a monarchy in Europe since the death of Elizabeth II will officially abdicate this Sunday and will give way to her son, Prince Frederick of Denmark.

The Royal House issued a statement, clarifying that the queen will leave the throne this Sunday to make way for “the generational transition.” However, from the magazine Readings They assured that Mary from Denmark, after the controversial photographs of Genoveva Casanova and Federico, walking through Madrid, gave an ultimatum: “Either we are kings now or this is over,” they said from the aforementioned magazine.
