Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik were originally scheduled to have an extended private visit to Greece, after the official state-visit. But:
Quote:
Margrethe is leaving early because of her knee.
The Queen's visit to Greece interrupted because of knee surgery.
Queen Margrethe is going home after the official visit to Greece, for surgery on her left knee.
"I am going home to get a new knee. It's about time that I'll get it fixed," said the Queen at a press conference.
"It also means that I'll cut drastically down on my duties iin June, and transfer them to Crown Prince Frederik and the Prince Consort."
The surgery will take place at rhus Municipal hospital, but it was not known on Thursday if the Queen will go directly from Greece to the hospital.
The official programme for the visit ends Friday, and after that, it was intended that the Queen and Prince Henrik were going to vacation together for a few days, at the royal yacht, Dannebrog. The Prince will do that alone, now.
"It would have been lovely, if we could have sailed together for five or six days," said Prince Henrik

Thanks for that norwegianne, i hope her knee feels better soon. One of the worst things is to be in pain or sick while in a foreign country.

Great pictures! :)
The Queen looks fantastic!
Did the Queen recycle her Gala dress? It looked so well-known to me.

Well, if post no. 44 is to be believed her husband would prefer to sail, rather than be by her side. Not that I blame him...sailing around the Greek isles in THAT yacht...I'd ditch anybody!  I'm sure he has confidence in the surgeons back home.

I have always admired the Queen's - "like me as I am" type of attitude. That is inner strength and I think that she has that in an abundance. I absolutle love the way she has grace and can still laugh at the same time. I hate to say this but Mary has "HUGE" shoes to fill and still many things that she can learn from her mother-in-law.

She is a lovely woman, but I think she smokes and it discolors her teeth. Too bad. She is gracious and striking. As far as not being greeted by her brother-inlaw, etc, Greece is a Republic, the Greek people have chosen to have this form of government and it is certainly not anyone else place to criticize that.

Mary will not be Monarch...Frederik has many things to learn from his mother in that respect, not the Crown Princess. Mary shall be Frederik's respective consort, and yes, Mary would no doubt be taking notice of how Margrethe handles herself, but as for saying that Mary has big shoes to fill... that's for Frederik :)
If you had have said Queen Ingrid, well then, that's a different story!

Yes it is tru that he wont be ther when Queen Margrethe are in surgery...but what in the world is he going to do in the surgeryroom
I think that he and Queen Margrethe had a long talk about it and they have come to the conclusion that ther was no reason for him to be at the hospital while she was in surgery....I think that he as a man woud be more worried if he was at the hospital.
My prayers are with my Queen and her family :( :(
