Edit: it seems like the NYT missed the mark on this one.

AP reports:

Two eyewitnesses, Anna Ravn and Marie Adrian, told the daily BT that they saw a man walking toward the prime minister and then “pushing her hard on the shoulder so she was shoved aside.” They stressed that she did not fall down.

    I don’t think it’s that common. She has guards

    I met the prime minister of Denmark back in 2005. He had two guards with him. But that was also around the Muhammad cartoons

    In recent years I’ve had some interactions with the crown princess of Denmark. The first time she had two guards. The next few times, she came by herself, car keys in hand

    Our former King Frederick the 9th (1947 to1972) was known for heading to bars in Nyhavn, and drinking with the sailors.

      She definitely has a few agents from the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) around her at all times. They are most often dressed in civilian clothing, but you can see the earpiece, they use to communicate.

      Oh, he was that sort of king.

      Him and King James of England…

        This kind of king

        He also broke the tradition that kings-to-be get their education in the army, because he wanted to sail, so he went with the navy. That of course explains his tattoos and his fondness of sailor bars

          Hangs out in bars with sailors, into body building… I’m just saying…
