Two environmental activists breached security at Christiansborg Palace where Danish Queen Margrethe hosted a state dinner in connection with a UN climate change summit Thursday, media reported on Thursday. The protest took place in the hallway of the palace where guests passed a guard of honour from the Royal Danish Life Guard, wearing their traditional bearskin hats.
A man and a woman each unfurled a banner with the text, "Politicians talk, Leaders act," a slogan by pressure group Greenpeace, in the palace hallway before security personnel intervened.
