LONDON –– First we had that video of the Queen's Guard scaring an over-familiar tourist, then Prince Philip swore at that photographer – now it's her majesty's turn to prove she's secretly a total badass.

The Queen was cruising down to church in her Jag on Sunday when she came across a slow-moving family, and decided to take evasive action.

Rather than waiting for them to move to one side of the path, she casually steered on to the grass and continued past while they looked round in growing confusion.

Scarlett Vincent, who was walking with her family in Windsor Great Park, told the Mail Online her and her partner didn't realise the Queen was staying at Windsor Castle that weekend.

"We didn't actually have time to get out of the way as we were in a world of our own so she had to swerve around us," Vincent said. "Toby was pushing the trike and I was pushing Teddy's pram when I realised what had happened. I turned to him and just said, 'Oh my god, it's the Queen.'"

"I pointed at the car and she just smiled at us and waved."
