Maisie Gregory was the adorable little girl who had her precious moment with Queen Elizabeth II ruined after she got smacked by an inattentive soldier trying to salute the Queen.
Cute little Maisie had just curtsied and presented the Queen with a bouquet but as the Queen turned to head into the hall, the soldier beside Maisie raised his hand at once to salute Her Majesty, and in the process accidentally smacking Maisie’s head.
The 6-year-old girl broke into tears but was immediately helped by people standing beside her.

The incident happened in June 2015, but even after five years, it is still being talked about today.
