Watch the Queen Scold Prince William on Live Television

published 17 June 2016

Looks like even royals get told off by their families sometimes.

Earlier this week at the 2016 Trooping the Colour, Queen Elizabeth II scolded her grandson, Prince William, in front of hundreds of onlookers—and because this is the internet, someone captured the moment and turned it into a GIF.

For a little context, the Duke of Cambridge had been crouching down to tend to his son, Prince George, when the Queen poked his shoulder and told him, "Stand up, William." Of course, even the royal family isn't exempt from following the Queen's orders, and the Prince immediately complied, looking incredibly sheepish.

As if all of that weren't already mortifying enough, even little Prince George seems to be embarrassed for his father—and can be seen smacking his forehead in the corner of the frame.
