Queen Margrethe turns French housewife at local market.
Since Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik bought their rural getaway Chateau de Cayx in 1974 a trip to the ancient town of Cahors in southern France has regularly featured in their Danish couple's summer schedule. And the popular sovereign, who's currently on holiday there, is clearly right at home in the town, as could be seen this week when she did a spot of shopping at the weekly market.

What a nice day out for her! Good to see that she can have some normal time for herself.

This is not a nice day out for the Queen. She does actually do a lot of the shopping herself, when she is a Cayx. I have been to that market "with" the Queen a few times and I know she thoroughly enjoys tasting the cheese, the olives etc. etc., before she makes her purchase. And then the Lady-In-Waiting slides up with the purse and pays!

Here's a link to video of this year's news conference from France 24 (it's in English).

She has a lovely voice -- soft, but cultured (and not what you'd expect from an enthusiastic smoker!) The slight hesitation in the way she talks reminds me a little of Prince Charles.
