Small child meets the Queen, throws wildly unimpressed tantrum

He's not having any of it.

Small children have little time for royalty. Even the Queen.

During the unveiling of a War Memorial for the people who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Queen and Prince Philip were given flowers by two attending officers.

In the company of the female officer was a small boy in suit. He didn't exactly look thrilled to be there.

To be fair, small children + suits + formal occasions is always a risky combination.

And hey -- it looked like the Queen saw the funny side of the whole thing.
