In light of this incident, we must ask ourselves whether there are not disagreements behind the scenes. The incident in Nuuk casts dark shadows and brings back memories of the attack in Apeldoorn in 2009, when a gunman deliberately drove into a celebrating crowd, killing six people. The target then was the Dutch royal couple.
Fortunately, the incident in Greenland ended without serious injuries. The royal court gave the all-clear: "It was an unfortunate collision, luckily no one was harmed." But luck might not always be on their side. Queen Mary's safety seems to have been fragile, at least at this moment. The royal family and their advisors will undoubtedly have to take measures to avoid such dangers in the future and protect the highest good - the life of the Queen. The people are looking anxiously at the circumstances, and it is to be hoped that similar incidents will not repeat themselves.
