Most of us will never become royalty, but little Maisie got to do the next best thing when she was able to meet Queen Elizabeth herself. She was all dressed up for the occasion in an adorable hat and dress, and when Her Majesty approached her, Maisie curtsied and gave her a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The Queen went on her way, and Maisie was about to have the perfect memory of the time she met one of the most noteworthy women in the world…until a soldier hit the little girl right in the face.
It's always frustrating when an otherwise perfect moment gets messed up by a less-than-perfect mistake. But just like when this little boy's sneeze grossed out a young girl at a pageant, it sometimes becomes something you can laugh about later if you get it on video. What happened to Maisie was a complete mistake — the soldier was just trying to salute the Queen, but he swung his arm a little too wide and knocked the poor kid's hat right off. But luckily, Maisie seemed more taken off guard than anything; there were no tears, just an annoyed "Ow!"
This adorable girl might have spent a lot of her life dreaming of growing up to be royalty like these famous and iconic princesses, but after this incident, something tells me she might not want to have anything to do with castles and queens ever again. The good news is that Maisie is totally fine, and the soldier who gave her a royal smack apologized immediately after the accident. At least Maisie had an experience she'll never forget!
If you were as surprised by Maisie's encounter with the Queen as I was, SHARE this video with all your friends!
