One onlooker caught the moment a well-wisher handed our monarch a plastic bag for the young Prince and Princess in Dundee yesterday.

The bag appeared to carry a pink box containing a child's doll and a toy from hit kids' movie Toy Story.

When the onlooker checked her snap, she realised the Queen looked less than amused with the unorthodox offering from discount shop B&M.

Posting the picture to Facebook, she wrote: “The best moment of seeing the Queen today was, by far, auld Betty’s face when the wifey next to me handed her a ripped B&M bag with toys for George and Charlotte. Luckily I captured that moment.”

It has since become an internet sensation, being shared hundreds of times on Facebook.

Sophie Harrower wrote: “Oh, Dundee. I'm in bits at this hahaha.”

While Sandra Drysdale commented: “Like they wains needs hand me downs lol.”

And Nigel James joked: “Hope the receipt was still in there. She has 28 days to get a full refund. Will she go in person or send Kate?”

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were in Dundee yesterday for a day of engagements in the city, which included the opening of Slessor Garden — part of a £1 billion redevelopment of the city’s waterfront.

The gift is far from the strangest Her Majesty has been offered during her 64 years on the throne.

Other prezzies include a shark tooth-lined sword, an African Elephant and a 100ft totem pole.

Popular store B&M sells a wide range of goods, from homeware to toys and electrical goods, and say they “believe in selling big brands at sensational prices.”

It employs nearly 23,000 staff at its 500 stores across the UK.
