Ever The Pro – The Moment A Page Boy Fainted During The Queen’s Speech [Pics + Video]

The Queen's professionalism can't be questioned. Even in the event of a fainting page boy, Elizabeth continues her royal duties and slams out the rest of her address to parliament, like a boss.

You’ve got to commend ole Elizabeth – she’s got the nerve of a honey badger and the elegance of a… well… a queen.

During the Queen’s speech to parliament, 12-year-old heir to one of Scotland’s most senior aristocratic titles, Viscount Aithrie, fainted and made quite the “thud” when he hit the ground. Did the Queen let it interrupt her flow? Not a chance, as the Lizzy just kept on trucking with her long-winded speech.

Maybe Aithrie was just trying to speed up the whole thing by faking a face-plant? Maybe he was just so bored he gave into having a little standing-nap? No one really knows, but he was alright, and the Queen got on with it and went straight into the “comprehensive nuclear agreement with Iran”.
