Queen Margrethe’s heartfelt farewell: Royal fans shower abdicated queen with love and doodles

Queen Margrethe of Denmark, at the ripe age of 83, hung up her crown for good, and royal watchers can't stop buzzing about the wave of love and quirky gifts flooding in from her adoring public.

Since her bombshell abdication announcement on January 14, the former monarch has been swimming in an ocean of affection, from heartfelt messages to the cutest felt-tip drawings you’ve ever seen—yes, there’s even one featuring the Queen alongside her successor, King Frederik, and his queen, Mary, not to mention a doodle of one of her precious dachshunds!

Taking to the Danish royal family’s Instagram, Queen Margrethe couldn’t contain her gratitude, gushing over the “great and warm attention” she’s received. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” she shared, clearly moved by the avalanche of cards, drawings, baked goods, and even knitted flags that have come her way. It’s a royal lovefest, and Margrethe is here for it.

But why the sudden adieu to the throne? In a New Year’s Eve cliffhanger, Margrethe dropped the news of her departure, hinting that a recent back surgery and a moment of reflection on her future were behind her decision to pass the torch to the next generation. It was an emotional exit, with Margrethe’s last act as queen being to declare, “God Save The King!” as she passed the baton to King Frederik at a tear-jerking Council of State meeting.

The drama didn’t end there—Frederik and his queen, Mary, gave the people of Copenhagen a moment to remember, sharing a balcony kiss that had the crowds swooning. With the young royals, Crown Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, and the twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, looking on, it’s clear that the Danish royal family is ready for its new chapter.

So, as Queen Margrethe steps back, her legacy is celebrated not just in the grand halls of the palace, but in the scribbled drawings and warm wishes of her people. It’s the end of an era, but one thing’s for sure—this queen’s departure is anything but quiet.
