ROYAL DUTY With Queen Margrethe of Denmark’s health hanging in the balance and news of her abdication imminent, it’s likely Australian Princess Mary and husband Prince Frederik will be taking the throne soon. Last week, the 77-year-old Danish monarch was forced to pull out of a planned engagement in the UK after falling ill midway through the trip. And now, with the announcement that Margrethe’s husband, Prince Henrik, is suffering from dementia, royal expert Sebastian Olden- Jorgensen sensationally reveals that she could announce her abdication in her New Year’s speech. Despite the fact that abdication isn’t a Danish tradition, Sebastian explains the Queen’s sudden bad health has forced her to do a U-turn on her previous decision to rule Denmark until her death. ‘After the news of her husband’s dementia,…

COURTNEY WHITEHEAD, SCARBOROUGH, QLD.
