Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has been hired as a set designer on a new Netflix film, it has been confirmed.
The monarch, 81, will be behind the scenography for an upcoming feature film Ehrengard based on the last works of Danish author Karen Blixen.
Set in the fairytale kingdom of Babenhausen, it tells the story of a self-appointed expert on love, who tries to teach a timid prince the art of seduction. But the plan backfires, leading to scandal and an unexpected romance.

"I have tried to interpret Blixen's fantastic universe in the development of the découpages and costumes, and I look forward to seeing the story of Ehrengard come to life in the film," Queen Margrethe said.
The Danish head of state is an accomplished painter and illustrator, and her drawings were used for Danish editions of The Lord of The Rings back in the 1970s, under the pseudonym Ingahild Grathmer.
