Former Queen Margrethe of Denmark has begun returning to public duties following a period of health challenges. In early October, she made her first appearance since recent hospitalizations by attending a concert at Fredensborg Palace Church to commemorate a 300th anniversary. She was accompanied by King Frederik X, Queen Mary, and Princess Benedikte.

By early November, the 86 year old former monarch conducted her first official engagement since a medical collapse in September. During an event at Fredensborg Palace, she served as patron for the Ebbe-Munck Memorial Foundation and presented the 2026 Ebbe-Munck Prize to Masaana Egede, the director of the Greenlandic media outlet Sermitsiaq.
