Margrete: Reine du Nord (2021) had a budget of about 73 million Danish kroner. The Danish Film Institute gave 20 million DKK to the production, which is the largest single grant in production aid it has ever made.
Production was badly hit by the corona-virus pandemic, as the film crew had only managed to complete 10 days of filming in Prague before having to stop on March 12, 2020 due to the virus outbreak. In order to save the production, the producers sought an extra 8.5 million DKK from Film i Väst, the Queen Margrethe & Prince Henrik Foundation, the A.P. Møller Fund, the Carlsburg Foundation and the Augustinus Fund.
