Then She studied prehistoric2 archaeology3 at Girton College, Cambridge during 1960-61, political science at Aarhus University between 1961-1962,at the Sorbonne in 1963, and at the London School of Economics in 1965.

Besides being a monarch, she is an accomplished4 painter, set designer, translator and she is also interested in archaeology. The Queen's talent in art can be tell from her works: her watercolours and oil paintings were highly praised when exibited in Denmark; she made book illus-trations for several fairy tale books; she designed the costums for pantomimes based on Anderson fairy tales. In addition, she has ever designed the costum and set for the Denmark Royal Ballet. When the master introduced her to the audiences, they applaused enthusiastically for her artistic5 contribution.

She is a master of several foreign languages, French, English, Swedish, German and good at writing. Every new year's eve, she would give a speech on TV to her people. What makes it special is that the Queen will draft and revise it by herself to present her own style and show her cordiality.
玛格丽特精通法语、英语、瑞典语、德语等多门外语。她还擅长写作,每年除夕下午6时,她都要通过电视向全国发表新年祝辞,与众不同的是,对于这种文字要求很高的特殊演讲稿,女王一般都是亲自起草和修改,突显她的个人风格,以便更贴近百姓。
