And in the wake of the news that Prince Charles is among the latest victims of COVID-19, the Danish monarchy has been left with no option but to take precautions to protect its own royal family – with heir Crown Prince Frederik and his wife Crown Princess Mary stepping up to take over the throne.
It’s thought Frederik and Mary will take over the Queen of Denmark’s royal duties as the virus continues to spread, especially now that people over 70 years old are becoming increasingly vulnerable.
“Margrethe is 79, and it’s crucial she is well taken care of,” royal reporter Jacob Heinel Jensen tells New Idea. “You have to remember that she’s also a smoker, which makes her even more at risk.
“I would expect Frederik and Mary to step in and take over Margrethe’s duties if she cannot perform them.”
While the Queen’s decision to abdicate would go against Danish tradition – the last and only time a monarch stepped down was in 1146 – drastic times call for drastic measures.
