During a royal visit in Nuuk, Greenland, Queen Mary of Denmark was knocked to the ground by an electric scooter driven by an elderly man, leaving her visibly shaken but unharmed. The incident occurred as she was greeting fans near her children, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, and was captured on video, which has since gone viral. Witnesses reported that the scooter brushed against her legs, causing her to lose balance, while the driver claimed he accidentally hit the accelerator instead of extending his arm to shake hands. Her security team reacted swiftly to prevent further danger, but the event has raised questions about the adequacy of royal security measures. Social media users criticized the security protocols, calling the incident a security failure but also expressed sympathy for the queen. Despite the scare, Queen Mary continued her scheduled engagements following the incident.
