This is the hilarious moment when a member of the public unknowingly stormed past the Prince and Princess of Wales in Soho yesterday.
The royal couple visited the Dog and Duck pub in Soho yesterday afternoon to hear how the establishment is gearing up for King Charles’ coronation this weekend.
After greeting the crowd gathered in Bateman Street, Kate and William spoke to members of staff outside the pub.
But as they prepared to step through the doors, an unamused member of the public somehow managed to get past the barriers and walk past the couple on their way back from the pharmacy.
The hilarious video was made by a TikTok user who had been waiting on the street in London to catch a glimpse of the couple.

They captioned the clip: “No security could stop this man from getting where he needed to go.”
The video begins with the Prince and Princess listening intently to what a female member of staff tells them as they stand in front of the entrance.
Then, out of nowhere, the man behind them appears with a paper pharmacy bag in hand – seemingly unaware that he is around royalty.
As he walks down Frith Street, the audience only stops when he sees the cameras on William and Kate.
Trying not to ruin the photos, the oblivious man pauses before walking down the street – as the crowd erupts in laughter.
After storming past Kate and William, a member of their security team approaches the man to inspect his bag.
Convinced he posed no threat, the bodyguard directed the man toward the barriers.
After seeing what was going on, Kate’s curiosity won out and the clip ends with the princess smiling and looking after the man.
After the man was taken aside by the couple’s security, the Princess of Wales looked down the street to check on the man

The video has garnered more than 652,000 likes since it was uploaded to TikTok this morning — and viewers were hysterical at the man’s ignorance.
One replied, “Dude got famous and hasn’t a clue.”
Another added, “That guy probably had no idea who he was passing and I think that’s great for him.”
A third wrote: ‘He said, ‘I literally don’t think about them. I’m trying to get home.”‘
“However, I love that Kate checked him out,” said a fourth.
“Kate wouldn’t mind,” a fifth said. “She is without a doubt the most beautiful ambassador this country has at the moment.”

During the engagement, Kate Middleton tore up the royal rule book when she got a very sensitive feeling with well-wishers outside the pub.
Among the crowd was high school English teacher Louis Stevenson, who praised the Princess’ Early Years initiative.

Discussing Louis’s work, Kate admitted, “I’m trying to get my kids to speak more French.”
Then the princess emphasized “how important” it is to learn languages in childhood.

“Of course,” replied the princess. “Thank you very much for my flowers. That’s very sweet of you.’
As they posed for the photo, Kate put her arm around Louis.
“Keep it up,” she said, after gently pressing him on the shoulder.
Louis shared the footage with his followers, writing: “Many have reached out and asked what the princess and I were talking about. I will share this video with you.
‘She listened to me very cheerfully, was really interested in my work (I’m an English teacher) and was sincere to everyone. Yesterday was a dream.’
