The pressure of meeting Queen Elizabeth proved to be too much for a boy in London who crawled away after being introduced.
Queen Elizabeth was in for an absolute treat yesterday when she visited Coram, the U.K.’s oldest children’s charity, in London. While meeting a group of well-wishers at the site, one little boy appeared to get overwhelmed by the encounter and simply crawled away from the sovereign.
According to The Telegraph, a young Nathan Grant, age 9, stood quietly with the group at first as the Queen spoke to a woman standing behind him. But after a few moments, he dropped to the ground, squeezed his way behind the adults standing around him, and swiftly crawled into the next room.
According to the publication, the young boy yelled “Bye” as he crawled away.
The Queen was at the charity event to open The Queen Elizabeth II Centre for the children.
Her Majesty – dressed in a turquoise Stewart Parvin coat and Rachel Trevor-Morgan hat – also met other young ones at Coram and helped decorate the charity’s Christmas tree.
