Denmark Queen Margrethe (81) and the son Crown Prince Frederik (53), was recently on a four-day state visit to the German capital Berlin.
In that connection, she met, among others, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel (67), but when they were to greet each other, things did not go quite as planned, writes among other Danes BT.
