Royal breaks silence

DENMARK’S Queen Margrethe says her husband’s death was “a strange experience” but her work helps her tackling the loss of Prince Henrik.

In her first public comments since Henrik died on February 13 at age 83, Margrethe says: “It’s healthy to be busy,” adding “things go pretty well”.

The popular monarch, 78, said Henrik’s decision not to be buried next to her, as is the tradition, “was his decision. I respect that”.

Henrik, whom Margrethe married in 1967, was diagnosed with dementia last year and was hospitalised in January with a lung infection.
