QUEEN ELIZABETH once shocked people around her by doing this shocking act in Glasgow during a state visit.
Queen Elizabeth: The Queen was caught doing this on a state visit to Glasgow
Queen Elizabeth, 91, goes on many state visits to promote the royal family and encourage good relations with other countries.
As head of the Commonwealth, this can often mean travelling across the globe for a variety of events.
In 2014, she headed to Glasgow to celebrate the Commonwealth Games which was being hosted in the city.
She then ended up doing this surprising act with two young girls.

Many could barely believe it, with one Twitter user asking: “That’s not real…Are you serious!?”
Queen Elizabeth: She was also in a selfie in April 2017 at the races
It isn’t the only time she has photobombed an unsuspecting photographer.
Earlier this year she was snapped in the background of a picture taken by Allan Banford, 32, who was attending Newbury Racecourse.
After being too polite to ask for a picture of her, he decided to take a selfie with her in the background instead.
He admitted it was a “total accident” with the Queen smiling in the background.
Photobombing done right
Queen Elizabeth: She apparently isn't a fan of the selfie trend
Despite looking happy in the background, the Queen is known to not be a fan of the famous selfie trend.
A royal aide explained that she understood the value of social media but missed eye contact with her subjects.
They explained: “The Queen’s key concern at events is that she can engage with the people she meets and have conversations with them.
“It’s difficult to see how people can experience an engagement first-hand if they are watching it through a view-finder.”
