Even Royals Have Rants: 8 Delightfully British Moments of Regal Temper (2 of 5)

2. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William: The Balcony Bollocking

During the 2016 Trooping the Colour, a young(ish) Prince William bent down to have a word with toddler George on the Buckingham Palace balcony. The Queen clearly aware that the entire nation (and a few rogue corgis) were watching gave him a proper Granny Glare and told him to stand up straight. William obeyed immediately, the royal equivalent of being caught chewing gum during assembly. You may outrank most of the world, but no one defies Her Majestys death stare.

3. Prince Philip: The Grand Duke of “Just Take the Bloody Picture!”

In 2015, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and undisputed king of cantankerous charm, had a moment of very public pique. At a group photo for the RAF Clubs Battle of Britain anniversary, he lost patience with the photographers endless faffing about. Just take the [expletive] picture! he barked. His family tried not to burst out laughing. Honestly, its the most relatable thing a royal has ever said.
