Queen Elizabeth II’s reaction to her great-grandson Prince George’s vigorous stirring technique during a celebratory cooking activity has gone viral after fans shared a video clip on social media platform TikTok.
Elizabeth, who died in September 2022 at the age of 96, has been the subject of a number of viral videos in the months since her death, with her interactions with close family members being of particular interest.
At the time of his birth in 2013, Prince George was the Queen’s third great-grandson and third in line to the British throne.
In December 2019, Elizabeth, George, Prince William and then-Prince Charles came together to take part in a special Christmas Pudding engagement, as part of a larger Royal British Legion “Together at Christmas” campaign to encourage support for members should the armed forces and veterans’ communities.
The Queen and her three lineal heirs stirred their puddings and added traditional silver sixpence before posing for an official portrait released to mark the start of a new decade in January 2020.
A behind-the-scenes video clip of the event has gone viral after it was uploaded to TikTok by user royalthecrown. It has received more than 480,000 views and over 61,000 likes.
The clip shows George vigorously stirring his pudding ingredients while the Queen playfully backs away and suggests Charles do the same.
A number of commenters on the viral video have praised the late monarch for her sense of humor and Charles for his apparent delight in his grandson’s overzealous efforts.
“She ran away 🥰😂,” wrote one user, alluding to the Queen.
“Nah she’s running for her life,” another posted, adding, “Run!”
One commenter noted, “Charles just loves the whole vibe.”
Photos from the event were originally shared via Prince William and Kate Middleton’s official Instagram account on December 21, 2019.
One caption reads: “Four generations of the royal family 🎄 together at Christmas. New photos of the Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince George have been released as part of the launch of the @RoyalBritishLegion’ ‘Together at Christmas’ initiative.
“The initiative is intended to provide additional support to the armed forces and veterans’ communities at annual celebratory ‘gatherings’ in the charity’s network of service centers.
“The four generations of the Royal Family are pictured here preparing special Christmas puddings – with the four representing a cross-section of those supported by the Legion, from children of military personnel to WWII veterans.
“The puddings will become the centerpieces of gatherings in 2020 and form part of 99 puddings being distributed across the charity’s network across the UK and Commonwealth – also marking the 99th year of the Royal British Legion.”
Prince George has seen an increase in public appearances in the past year, attending sporting events with his parents and making his first official visit to Wales with his sister, Princess Charlotte. The Prince was also present at the state funeral and handover ceremony for Elizabeth in September 2022.
On July 22, the prince celebrates his 10th birthday.
