It's one of the perils of live TV: Someone out there is going to ruin the shot.

Even in the quaint surrounds of Windsor in the UK, where a reporter for Australian show Sunrise was upstaged by a kid in a passing car on Sunday night.

Windsor Castle is one of the official residences for the British Royal Family, where the Queen usually spends her weekends — and where reporter Edwina Bartholomew was covering the imminent arrival of the royal baby of Meghan and Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

While the castle might be a place of good etiquette, don't expect that on the streets of Windsor, where you might be accosted by a kid who'll flip you off for fun.

"Speaking of bad parenting, what about that little kid who pulled up behind me before," Bartholomew said on Sunrise. "What a little rotter."

While flipping off a live TV crew is admittedly pretty funny for the rest of us, unfortunately for the kid, the video evidence won't help him when his parents eventually find out.
