As Mary, donned in traditional attire, engages with the crowd, a scooter is seen brushing against her legs, causing her to lose balance and nearly fall.

Bystanders seem shocked and although Mary quickly regains her composure, she appears slightly rattled by the event. Following the incident, the Queen's security swiftly steps in to push back the scooter rider and later the Danish Royal House confirmed that Mary was unharmed.
