Denmark’s Queen Mary rushed indoors over leg pain at royal engagement
There was a buzz in the air.
Queen Mary of Denmark was forced to cut a recent royal engagement short after experiencing sudden pains in her leg — which later turned out to be a wasp sting.
The Danish royal, 53, was joined by her husband, King Frederik, 57, their daughter Princess Isabella, 18, and son Prince Vincent, 14, at an event in Gråsten, Denmark on Monday.
While greeting royal watchers outside the Gråsten Town Hall, the queen collected floral arrangements gifted to her by fans lining the streets.
However, the outing wasn’t without drama as the royal was seen suddenly wincing and grabbing her leg in pain — prompting officials to spring into action.
In fan-filmed footage shared on Instagram, Mary can be seen standing beside her husband and two of their four kids before embarking on a royal walkabout.
The queen is then seen dramatically reacting to sudden pain in her thigh, prompting her to limp while attempting to carry on with her outing.
The pain appeared too strong for the royal to bear, with Frederik moving in closer to his wife as officials escorted her to a nearby building.
According to Danish newspaper JydskeVestkysten, Mary was stung by a wasp during the outing. The commotion cut her outing short, prompting her family to step in and finish the engagement.
“The queen certainly did not seem to be badly affected by the encounter with the stinging wasp, and she, together with the king, Isabella and Vincent, made sure to greet the many citizens who had gathered in the square,” another local outlet Billed-Bladet reported.

Without skipping a beat, Mary’s children, Princess Isabella and Prince Vincent, joined their dad and chatted to royal fans during the outing at the sprawling Gråsten Palace.
Similar to the British royal family’s annual summer vacations at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, the Danish royal family spends its summers at Gråsten Palace.
The family will spend some quality time together over the next few weeks at the lavish palace, which Frederik had inherited from his grandfather, Frederik IX.
The late royal received keys to the plus abode after tying the knot with Ingrid of Sweden in 1935.
