[edit] Etiquette mishap in Denmark
Dr. Arajärvi was caught staring at the chest of Princess Mary of Denmark at the State dinner hosted by Queen Margrethe II on 15 January 2012, which caused him to be ridiculed in both the Danish and Finnish media.[1] Dr. Arajärvi has denied the claims, but the situation has continued to cause lively debates on online forums around the Nordic countries.
According to the danish satirical tv show Natholdet, the tv show that was the original source of the clip, the clip was part manipulation of two nonrelated different clips put together [2]. Natholdet airs on TV2.
