Billedbladet.dk has a report about Queen Margrethe and a possible abdiction. It says that there are no plans for an abdiction.

I think abdiction really isn't a serious topic in Denmark.

Thanks for the pictures, Iceflower. The Queen looked very lovely.

The reason behind all the current articles on Margrethe abdicating is a new book which has been published, 'Royal Travels – Behind the Scenes with the Monarchy’. It claims Margrethe will abdicate next April 16th - her 70th birthday.

The last line of the Copenhagen Post article below is "A spokesperson from the Royal Court denied the book's claims, saying neither the Queen nor Prince Henrik has any intention of moving from Denmark." So, I'm gunna believe that. I doubt Margrethe will be wanting to become the first monarch in Danish history to abdicate the throne.

There just doesn't not seem to be a shred of truth to this. While it is interesting to talk about, it just doesn't seem that she believes in the concept of abdication. If that is true, then various life circumstances just don't matter - you are Queen for life. I don't see it happening.

Jyllandsposten's readers were surveyed about their attitudes toward whether or not it would be okay for Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik to retire:
jp.dk - Læserne: Lad regentparret rejse

According to the article, many readers thought that it would be perfectly fine if the monarch decided to retire. They said that even though it was a Danish tradition for the monarch to rule for life, they felt that the Dutch tradition of retirement was a good option. They stated that the Queen and Prince Henrik have done a great job, but that they deserve to have a relaxing retirement where they can travel and simply enjoy life.

I don't disagree that they should be able to do that if they want. I just think that there is no way that the Queen will do it. Unless there is some illness with Prince Henrik that we don't know about. I just see that she views her birthright as 'for life' that it isn't something you have the right to give up.
