Australian-born Queen Mary of Denmark visibly flustered male police officers when she appeared to make a flirtatious comment.
At Greenland’s Nuuk Airport with her husband King Frederik, Mary addressed the four officers standing at the airport alongside sniffer dogs as the royals travelled to the autonomous Danish territory this month.

“How handsome you are,” Mary said to the group.
Appearing surprised by the comment, the group nervously thanked the Queen of Denmark.
However, Mary quickly added: “So … (are) the dogs”.
The men laughed as it clicked the remark was originally intended for their four-legged companions.
An onlooker posted the encounter online, with the video going viral on X and TikTok.
“I love her!! She’s so flirty,” one fan said.
“She has a good sense of humour, our Queen,” a TikTok user said.
A third added: “She got you, great comment”.
The encounter came a few days after Mary was hit by a scooter that ran into her during a royal visit.
While Mary was greeting fans alongside Frederik and their two youngest children, an elderly man hit her on his scooter.
The 52-year-old royal lost her balance for a moment.
As a security guard stepped in, Mary appeared to find her footing and stand up straight, as seen in the video player above.
The clip was first obtained by Danish news agency Ekstra Bladet, which also received confirmation from the palace about the incident.
The Danish royal communications department assured the outlet no one was injured.
The outlet reported the unnamed scooter rider had said: “I do not know what happened.”
Mary and her family were in Greenland, where Denmark has its northernmost military base, from June 29 to July 6.
