Earlier this month, the Queen of Denmark, 52, was hit by a man riding a mobility scooter during her visit to Greenland with her husband, King Frederik. A video of the frightening moment is now making the rounds on social media, and the Danish Royal House told national outlet Ekstra Bladet that no one was injured in the July 4 incident. As seen in a clip shared to TikTok, Queen Mary was mingling with a crowd in Nuuk, Greenland when was hit by a large black scooter from the side, causing her to stumble. A bodyguard hopped in to push back the vehicle, and the royal appeared visibly shaken when she reappeared on camera. According to the outlet, the scooter driver said, "I do not know what happened."

From June 29 to July 6, Queen Mary and King Frederik officially visited Greenland, which is part of the kingdom of Denmark, for the first time since his accession in January. The stop in Greenland capped their first major tour since the change of reign sparked by the abdication of the King's mother, Queen Margrethe, and the couple brought along their youngest children, twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, 13. Mary and Frederik tied the knot in 2004, and are also parents to Crown Prince Christian, 18, and Princess Isabella, 17.
