LONDON -- One was impressed or one was not impressed? We'll never know what the Queen thought about the moment when a young boy walked up to her and shook her hand, but we think it's pretty sweet.
In a video from Saturday's Epsom Derby, which was posted to Facebook, a young boy walks up to the Queen, who was in conversation with someone off camera, takes off his top hat, extends his hand to the monarch, gives her a firm handshake and walks away and flashing a broad grin to the camera.

The video was posted by the crown prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum with the caption: "Nothing defines respect better than a proper handshake! Epsom Derby with Queen Elizabeth II."
The Daily Mail says the boy is believed to be part of the Dubai royal family who joined the British royal family and the horse race-loving Queen in Epsom for 236th running of the Derby.
