On April 12, 2026, Queen Mary of Denmark shared sad news, announcing the passing of her father, Professor John Dalgleish Donaldson. Professor John Donaldson passed away at the age of 84 in Hobart, Tasmania. John Dalgleish Donaldson was a Professor of Applied Mathematics, born in Scotland on September 5, 1941.
In her statement, the Queen said: “My heart is heavy, and my thoughts are grey. My beloved father has passed away. But I know that when the grief settles, the memories will brighten my day, and what will remain strongest is love and gratitude for everything he gave me and taught me.” His health had been declining over the past few years.



R.I.P, Professor Donaldson🙏

ردحذفmy deepest sympathy.
Sad news indeed. At least she was able to see him recently on the trip to Tasmania. I remember how very proud he looked walking her down the aisle on her wedding day. 😢

ردحذفSuch sad news from the Danish Royal Court and the Donaldson family. My sincere condolences.
ردحذفOh that’s so terribly sad. To be on the other side of the world and not be able to be with a parent as they die is so very sad. I have loved every public moment where we have had the chance to see or hear from her Dad. He seemed to be such a clever, loving, caring and gentle man.
ردحذفCondolences to the family. How wonderful he was able to see his daughter become a much loved Queen.

ردحذفJag tycker det inte är riktigt rätt att ta upp Marys fars bortgång på den här sidan.
ردحذفNågonstans glömmer vi bort att det är den privata sidan i hennes familj.
Av respekt för Mary och faderns med familj ta bort inlägget.
Very sad news indeed.
ردحذفReally sad news, what a lovely message Queen Mary wrote about her father, deepest condolences to her and her family. May he RIP.
