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 Århus 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
