Bizarre 'Queen' prank outside Kate's hospital
As the world’s media crowded outside St Mary’s Hospital in London waiting to catch a glimpse of the newest member of the royal family, the Queen decided to pay a visit.
Only it wasn’t actually the Queen.
‘Her majesty’ did a drive-by past the hospital where Kate had just given birth in a black cab, however it was actually just a wax figure.
Fans rushed towards the vehicle wanting to catch a glimpse of who was inside, but on closer inspection quickly relayed “it’s wax”.
The bizarre prank was well received by onlookers, according to News.com.au, and was very convincing from afar.
At this stage, it is unclear who exactly planned the joke.
“The first royal appearance for the new #RoyalBaby … of sorts,” royal correspondent James Brookes wrote on Twitter.
