Over the years Miss Armfeldt dedicated her entire life to Margrethe and the Queen of Denmark repaid her devotion by granting Miss Armfeldt a grace and favour apartment close to Amalienborg palace in Copenhagen. Miss Armfeldt was much loved by all the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Danish court. She was a funny, lively lady and not at all grand. She will be sorely missed.

Thanks for the interesting information. It must be sad for the Queen to lose someone she has been so close to for so long.
