Play all audios:
Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II, 82, was set to pull out all the stops to mark her 50-year reign but was forced to cancel much of her Golden Jubilee, which had already been postponed due to
Covid-19, according to The Sunday Times. Margrethe is now Europe’s longest-serving monarch. The queen was a third cousin to Elizabeth, and the two were close, according to reports. They
allegedly called each other by their nicknames “Lilibet” and “Daisy” and Elizabeth invited Margrethe to lunch every time she was in London. ITV royal editor Chris Ship shared the news on
Twitter, remarking: “A tribute from one Queen to another.” Her Majesty passed away aged 96 on Thursday afternoon at Balmoral in Scotland. On Thursday evening, in a letter addressed to King
Charles III and published on the Danish palace website, Queen Margrethe said she was “deeply moved by the sad news of your beloved mother’s death. “Your mother was very important to me and
my family. “She was a towering figure among the European monarchs and a great inspiration to us all. We shall miss her terribly. “Denmark and I are grateful for her continuous efforts to
further strengthen the close and warm relations between our two nations. “God bless you both and give you strength and hope in your future life and duties.” READ MORE: COMMENT FROM US
