Queen Elizabeth ll was the epitome of grace at every event she attended, and the annual Trooping the Colour was no exception to the rule! The grand celebration has once again captured public attention, but this year with a twist —thanks to a viral TikTok of the late Queen wholeheartedly scolding Prince William. Check out what this throwback is all about!
Historically, Trooping the Colour has been a venue for royal family gatherings since Queen Elizabeth ll’s reign began. Prince William made his debut at the event in 1984 as a kid, and over the years a funny pattern has been identified: the Queen occasionally nudging Prince William to pay attention.

The now-viral TikTok, shared by @windsor.royal.house, shows moments from 1985, 1988, and notably 2016, when Prince William was seen bending down to speak to his son, Prince George. But Queen Elizabeth noticed his grandson’s slight distraction, so she decided to tap his shoulder for him to stand up and watch the military aircraft.
The throwback clip has accumulated more than 400,000 views, and it’s brought memories about this gentler grandmother-grandson relationship, proving that royal history is not just about serious events and elegant dresses. The monarchy has also had its fun and light-hearted moments throughout the years.
