Kids will be kids, eh? When Queen Elizabeth II visited Belfast, Ireland last week, one young fellow couldn’t resist the opportunity to do what most teens nowadays do: snap a selfie with Her Majesty in the background.
14-year-old Jack Surgenor was in the crowd to greet the queen and her husband, Prince Phillip, when they were visiting St. George’s Market. The visit was a part of their three-day Northern Ireland tour.
What did the queen think of these antics? She looked a bit disapproving, and royal editor Tim Ewart described her as appearing “bemused.” The 88-year-old queen has a slew of grandchildren, so she’s probably mellowed out some on that whole royal protocol thing. Maybe? This may be the first time anyone’s ever snapped a quick selfie with her, however.
