Be careful, there’s a royal nearby! And they’re happy to PHOTOBOMB your selfies, says CLAUDIA CONNELL…

You know what it’s like. You’re all dressed up, you’ve found the perfect pose, the camera’s about to click… and someone walks into the photo and photobombs your photo.

And it even happens with the royal housessays Claudia Connell, as she leaves behind some incredible memories…

THE ‘NATURAL’ WHO CHARMED CAMILLA

Little Fitzwilliam Corrie-Salmon didn’t want to let Queen Camilla be the star of the show when she visited his family’s bakery in Belfast yesterday.

The smartly dressed, cheeky toddler boldly staggered into view as the amused queen called him ‘a natural’.

“We have a story for him when he’s older,” his father William said.

ROUND AROUND WITH BEATRICE

Who is laughing hysterically behind ‘Big Sam’ Allardyce? Just a tickled Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo.

The former Bolton, Leeds and England manager attended the Cheltenham Festival earlier this month and must have been delighted to hear that the assembled photographers all wanted to take his picture.

The only problem was… they didn’t. It was an elegant Beatrice in a fitted camel coat who had caught their attention, not him. Better luck next time, Sam.

HI THERE!

Not many people get past Sir Chris Hoy, the six-time Olympic gold medal-winning cyclist. But in 2014, during the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, William, then the Duke of Cambridge, caught him.

Hoy, who recently retired, was showing VIPs around the athletes’ village when a mischievous William came across a fan’s selfie, making the photo even more of a collector’s item.

Go to ma’am

The late queen looked radiant in a peach coat at Royal Ascot in 2013 until Princess Eugenie, dressed in all black, showed up and ruined the view.

Her Majesty liked to keep up with technology and famously texted on camera and FaceTimed Michelle Obama. But did she know what a photo bomb was? And did she enjoy being the victim of it? Memories may vary.

BEHIND THE NET

When you’re going to be photobombed by a royal family, who better than the boss? The late queen was responsible for a digital double whammy when she first photobombed a photo of two athletes at the 201 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and then went viral.

Australian hockey star Jayde Taylor posed for a selfie with teammate Brooke Peris as Her Majesty faded into the background. Jayde shared her photo on Twitter and wrote: ‘The Queen photobombed our selfie!’ That must be as good as a gold medal.

WHEN HARRY WAS A JOKER

The 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow proved to be a rich source of photobombing, with Prince Harry also taking part.

Before he became a Montecito misery, he was having a great time. During the Games, he smiled cheekily and gave a thumbs up as two New Zealand swimming referees posed for a souvenir photo. Those were the days, right Harry?

PHILIP FUN

The late Duke of Edinburgh famously hated having his photo taken and on one memorable occasion barked at the photographer to ‘just take the bloody picture!’

But on a visit to Malta in 2007 he was in a much better mood when he snuck up behind ITN Royal Correspondent Romilly Weeks as she delivered a live piece to camera, giving her the fright of her life.

KATE GET CRASHED

As a mother, the Princess of Wales knows what a handful of young children can be.

That’s probably why she didn’t bat an eyelid when this little rascal stuck his head in front of the camera and stuck his tongue out during a visit to Peterley Manor Farm in Buckinghamshire. She has one like that at home too!
