Queen Mary has been left visibly shaken after she was mowed down by an electric scooter during a royal walkabout in Greenland.
The 52-year-old Australian-born Queen of Denmark was knocked to the ground by the vehicle driven by an elderly man as she greeted fans in Greenland's capital Nuuk.Her young children Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine were just meters away from their mother when she was knocked down.Footage showed her crying out as she fell while onlookers - who were already swarming the queen - watched on in horror.
He claimed that he was trying to expend his arm forward to the queen where she could then shake his hand, but clearly hit the accelerator instead.Amalienborg said Mary was not seriously hurt during the incident and she continued her planned visit to the Danish territory.But the incident has raised concerns about the Denmark Royal's safety and security when meeting with the public."An accident but what if it had been deliberate? Huge security fail!," one commentator wrote on X.
