Queen Margrethe II of Denmark is nicknamed "Vulcan Queen" for a reason. Her fondness for cigarettes is not only well known in palace circles.
Munich – Queen Margrethe II (81) has been an avowed smoker for decades. Even if she is said to have already reduced her nicotine consumption, she obviously cannot do without the glowing sticks entirely. The regent makes no secret of her vice, she even takes it with humor.
24royal.de * reveals the self-deprecating comment on smoking Queen Margrethe II could not resist.
Queen Margrethe II will probably never be able to completely renounce cigarettes. It feels like you only know the regent as a smoker, in the past she was said to have even enjoyed up to 60 sticks a day at times. In 2007, the anti-smoking law was introduced in Denmark, which bans smoking in public. Since then, the head of state has also stopped a cigarette or two. In the private rooms at Amalienborg Palace, however, it should continue to steam vigorously. That is why the media even gave Margrethe the nickname “Queen of the Volcanoes”. The monarch now accepts her vice with a healthy dose of self-irony. The press was also able to convince itself of this on their last state visit to Germany. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
