Little Girl Gives The Queen Flowers And Is Then Slapped

No, Queen!

Don’t laugh. A Royal guard accidentally smacked a six-year-old in the face while saluting Her Majesty.

Seriously. This isn’t funny. Maisie Gregory was specially selected to curtsy and hand flowers to Her Royal Highness in Wales, but probably didn’t anticipate the white-gloved smack of a footman.

… We hope you’re not giggling on the other side of that screen! None of this is funny! Not the initial smack, not her puzzled yelp and certainly not the fact her bonnet flies off in the process!

(Then again, maybe we have permission to giggle given that the girl’s mother seems to find it kind of amusing too, in this alternate angle video.)

We salute you Maisie.
