A child just gave a royal reporter the middle finger LIVE on air

Wow.

So as we all know, the royal baby arrived over the weekend.

Meghan Markle gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Sunday morning.

And we’ve been pretty damn excited by it, obviously.

It has been somewhat of a media frenzy, with members of the press reporting on the wonderful news.

Edwina Bartholomew was reporting for Australia’s breakfast show Sunrise on Seven, when she got a surprise. 

A white car drove behind her, and a young boy stuck himself out the window to give the reporter the middle finger.

CHARMING.

The presenter replayed the clip, calling the boy a “little rotter” before describing the area as “the mean streets of Windsor.”

It’s rough out there lads.

Edwina then joked: “Wait ’til I get my hands on him!”

The reporter was outside Windsor waiting to get news of a royal birth.

Buckingham Palace announced the news in a statement on Sunday:

“Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 05.26hrs.”

“The baby weighs 7lbs 3oz. The Duke of Sussex was present for the birth.”

“The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Spencer have been informed and are delighted with the news.”

“The Duchess’ mother, Doria Ragland, who is overjoyed by the arrival of her first grandchild, is with Their Royal Highness’s at Frogmore Cottage.”

“Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.”

 No news on a name yet, but we’ll keep you informed.
