Video of Child Asking Queen Elizabeth II 'What's Your Name?' Resurfaces

Queen Elizabeth II was put on the spot after a school boy asked her name during a tour of Australia in 2000 in a video that has resurfaced on TikTok.

The monarch, now 95, visited Vasse Primary School in Busselton, where Sol Masters asked her: "What's your name?"

The awkward moment in the school's kindergarten came shortly after Masters hit another pupil, 4-year-old Jacinta Haywood, who told her teacher: "Sol's just cracked me one," the BBC reported at the time.

Elizabeth, seemingly taken aback, did not respond and continued walking around the classroom, only to then be asked the same question again.

The queen again did not respond as she continued her tour of the school.

The video can also be seen here.

The incident between Masters and Haywood was not the only scuffle during the royal visit on March 31, 2000.

Elizabeth and husband Prince Philip were listening to a performance by the school choir when two boys, who were not singing, started to fight.

Teachers intervened but the royal couple saw the saga and the BBC reported the Duke of Edinburgh appeared amused at the debacle.

A TikTok video of a news report from the tour has received over 560,000 views and more than 37,000 likes online after it resurfaced on April 1.

One comment liked 7,363 times read: "What's the issue with telling them [her name].. her silence speaks volume."

Another, liked 2,813 times, read: "Simple question. What would Diana have done? Got down to there [sic] eye level and said 'hello my name is Diana.' Her silence is deafening."

Events on royal tours can be unpredictable as Prince William and Kate Middleton recently found out on a visit to the Caribbean.

The couple had to cancel an event in Belize due to a protest and suffered several PR missteps in Jamaica before being told by Prime Minister Andrew Holness of the country's desire to break with the monarchy.

At the end, Prince William reflected on the positives of going abroad as a royal, even when not everything runs smoothly.

He said: "Foreign tours are an opportunity to reflect. You learn so much. What is on the minds of prime ministers. The hopes and ambitions of school children. The day-to-day challenges faced by families and communities.

"I know that this tour has brought into even sharper focus questions about the past and the future. In Belize, Jamaica and The Bahamas, that future is for the people to decide upon.

"But we have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with communities in all three countries, understanding more about the issues that matter most to them."
