Six-year-old Maisie Gregory had the honour of meeting with the Queen of England on Thursday afternoon to present her with flowers in Cardiff, Wales.

But, after the big moment was carried out without any breach of royal etiquette and young Maisie could take a sigh of relief, she copped a little more than she bargained for. As the queen turned her back, a lance corporal raising his hand to salute the Queen whacked the poor girl across the head. Thankfully the whole moment was captured on video and Maisie is fine, so naturally the internet lords have blessed us with this viral internet gem.
