Imagine being that little girl!
Seriously though, what on earth were the school thinking?? It's like a zoo!😂

A zoo? It’s a normal primary school receiving a visit from the Queen. Why is it necessary to be insulting? Weird post.

The children are lovely and very well behaved. A strange post and a strange title.

The Duke of Edinburgh clearly unimpressed with the state education 🙄😆

The Duke of Edinburgh totally ignores the children standing next to him.

I have seen a clip of this video before. This is an extended version. Why didn't the DOE say something to the children - that's quite cold. They looked they didn't want to be there.

What an odd and rude post. That child is building their core strength. The one swinging is building their hand eye coordination (and quite possibly having a sensory special need met).

Weird post.

Philip was such an ignorant, horrible man. Who the fuck stands in front of children like that being negative about their work? What a twat. 🙄 The Queen seemed to look quite excited by the girl sliding. 😂 These visits always look really awkward for everyone involved.

Haha. That's hilarious.
The school have obviously pulled out all the stops, and the Queen and PP are just bemused. Going through the motions of being interested in the education of the children of the oiks.
There are no cold showers, no hampers from home, no 'fagging', so they just can't relate.
It likely did feel just like visiting a zoo, to them.

It all looked a bit chaotic for a very elderly couple. I didn't get the impression Prince Philip meant to be rude. He just felt more comfortable addressing the teacher.

Well meant by the school but I think the noise and chaos were just a bit too much. They both looked overwhelmed.

It did look chaotic - schools and children are like that. I would have at least say something to the children who were obviously very excited to see them. . . very strange

It was not at all chaotic. The children were so well behaved.
And I thought Philip was so rude. Do not go to visit a school if you are going to ignore the actual children there.
