The Aussie princess is left shaken and upset after running into a cyclist in Copenhagen.
A visibly distressed Princess Mary has been left shattered after hitting a cyclist during peak-hour traffic in Copenhagen. The shocked royal was driving in the busy district of Osterbro when her Land Rover clipped the cyclist.
A shaken Mary, 40 – who is believed to have had two of her four children in the back seat – was quick to leap from her vehicle to assist the fallen cyclist. Observers did a double take as they realised the future Queen of Denmark was tending to the cyclist with her trademark compassion.
“I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry,” Mary was heard saying as her security team pounced and sealed off the area. However, according to reports, the accident wasn’t Mary’s fault at all. “The cyclist seemed lost in her own world,” one eyewitness said. “It’s like she didn’t even see the car. She could have been killed.” A craftsman working in a nearby building saw how the two collided.
“She swung to the right and the cyclist was a little in her own world, and then they came together,” he told the Danish press. They were both shocked, and I think the lady on the bike got an extra shock when she discovered who she was facing.”
