This 6-year-old went to meet the Queen... and accidentally got whacked in the face

Poor little Maisie.

TODAY, THE QUEEN visited Cardiff and on hand to welcome her was Maisie Gregory.

The 6-year-old was wearing a traditional Welsh dress and presented a little bouquet of flowers to the monarch.

It was all very exciting until the soldier next to her accidentally smacked her in the head while saluting the Queen.

The soldier immediately apologised and Maisie was reported as being fine, if a little tired.

Our thoughts are with Maisie who will probably be forced to watch this clip at every family reunion from now until the end of time.
