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.
