Queen’s garden party guest is scolded by the Her Majesty’s lady-in-waiting for breaking royal protocol – but finds it hilarious

THIS excited mum threw caution to the wind when she was invited to the Queen's exclusive garden party, filming every detail to give us a sneak peek at the lavish bash.

Laura-Ann, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, shared all with her 64,000 Instagram followers from Her Majesty's event at Buckingham Place on Wednesday.


She even papped Prince Harry and the Queen on her phone – and broke protocol by handing the 93-year-old a bunch of pretty pink flowers.

The influencer made sure she was front row for the meet-and-greet, joking: "standard royal stalking behaviour, stuffed my cakes into me so I could get in the FROW", accompanied  MI5 theme tune".

Laura-Ann then added: "& of course I've brought FLARRS!!! Pray for me".

As the Queen passed by, she said: "Your Majesty I've bought some flowers for you", handing her a bunch of pink, yellow and white blooms which matched her outfit perfectly.


Laura-Ann told the Queen: "You look beautiful in pink today, have a lovely tea", to which the royal responded: "Thank you very much".

But she immediately handed the flowers to her lady-in-waiting, then who came over to scold Laura-Ann.

She said: "It’s easier for me to carry them, then the Queen can have them when she goes indoors."


Laura-Ann was totally unfazed by the incident, telling her followers the moment was a "life highlight".

She revealed that her mum, who was her plus one at the event, also handed the Queen a bunch of flowers on a visit to Northern Ireland 20 years ago.

While Laura-Ann has done the same with both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle in the past.

Of Wednesday's flower presentation, she added: “(The Queen) doesn’t like phones! So I put mine down at my feet before she came.

“Thankfully my mummy got a video and the girl to the left of me got some photos. It was just amazing!”


The blogger was dressed in a lilac Hobbs dress and a lovely floral headband by milliner Laura O’Hanlon.

As well as the flower incident, she also offered a sneak peak at the menu for the day.

Guests were treated to jackfruit wraps, smoked salmon bagels and a selection of crustless finger sandwiches with fillings including egg mayonnaise, summer beans with carrot, and gammon and mustard.

Some of the sweet treats were even stamped with a crown emblem.

There were also a range of cakes, scones (rated 9/10 by Laura-Ann), shortbread and a passion fruit tart – while guests could sip on iced coffee, apple juice or Twining's Garden Party Tea.



Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were also papped by Laura, who took her followers on a tour of Buckingham Palace's swimming pool and summer house.

She even tried to sneak a loo roll home with her, but joked the "operation" was "in jeopardy" when she discovered the Palace's outdoor loos had silver dispensers.

And there was one thing Laura-Ann felt the event was missing – a bit of booze.

After leaving the Palace, she posted: "Time for a much needed @warnersgin (no drinks at the palace .. not even champers) it's just tea or ICED coffee!! (did think that was odd)."
