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.

Famous brown bear Chunk has broken jaw, but he's still eating, ‘chasing ladies'
When the famous brown bear named Chunk appeared on the web cam in late June, post-hibernation, his jaw was broken and there was concern that he'd have trouble eating salmon on Alaska's Brooks River. 'Whoever Chunk rumbled with sure got him good!' Travel Guide Book exclaimed June 22 via Facebook. 'He appears to be slowly healing, getting around and he tried to eat some grass so that is a good sign.' Chunk is among the more popular bears in Alaska's Katmai National Park & Preserve, in large part because of his size and dominance at Brooks Falls, where his antics are often captured by the live cam. He's also a regular in the Fat Bear Week competition, a fan-driven event held each fall. It's unclear how Chunk suffered a broken jaw but the injury might have occurred during a quarrel with another bear, or perhaps a moose. in partnership with the National Park Service, maintains a series of live cams on the Brooks River. Explore posted the accompanying Instagram clip Friday, with the description: "Chunk the Hunk – broken jaw and all.' While his jaw remains askew, Chunk certainly appears to be gaining weight. 'Is he OK? Will he heal?' one follower wondered. Another replied, 'He's already healing, eating well and gaining weight and chasing the ladies.' ALSO: Idaho hunter convicted of poaching famously elusive trophy-size elk Katmai's brown bears feast on salmon during the summer and fall, desperate to put on enough weight to sustain them through the winter. The live cameras enable viewers to witness the bears' transformation from reasonably skinny bears (relatively speaking) to rotund behemoths that are almost literally dragging their bellies. The cameras also showcase the bears' interactions with one another. Chunk has not won the Fat Bear Week competition, but finished second last year to a female bear named Grazer, who also won in 2023. Sadly, one of Grazer's cubs was killed by Chunk last summer after being swept over the falls. Some Katmai fans have wondered whether it could have been Grazer who broke Chunk's jaw.

YouTube is testing Instagram-style collabs
YouTube has started testing a new collaboration feature, similar to Instagram's and TikTok's. A Google employee explained on YouTube Help that it will allow creators to add collaborators to a video so that they can be recommended to each other's audiences. The test is only available to a small group of creators for now, but it sounds like YouTube has plans to expand its availability in the future. Lindsey Gamble, an influencer marketing consultant and advisor, has posted a screenshot showing how the experimental feature works on Threads. As you can see in the image Gamble posted, adding collaborators would show their names next to the creators on their channel. If there are too many, at least on mobile, the collaborators would show as "...and more" next to the creator's name. Tapping on it would bring up the list of people involved in the project, with the Subscribe button next to their name. On Instagram and TikTok, the creator who uploads the content will have to invite another account as a collaborator, who'll then have to approve the invitation. That'll most likely be the case here, as well, in order to ensure that creators don't randomly add other users to their videos. It's not clear, however, whether the collaborators can see details typically reserved for the uploader's eyes. As with any experimental YouTube and Google product, the company will be taking the testers' feedback into account before deciding if it'll give the feature a wide release. fff
