A video of Princess Anne’s visit to Stroud last week filmed by a 14-year-old boy has surprisingly gone viral on TikTok.
The bizarre short nine second video - which has been viewed more than 22,000 times - shows the Princess Royal meeting people in King Street on Wednesday (March 15).
One of the people HRH met was Stroud busker Clover who was behind his beloved keyboard outside JoJo Maman Bébé.
Two protesters were also at the visit and held signs reading ‘abolish the monarchy’ - in the clip you can see one protester speaking to police officers.

The video by TikTok user Aywonalve currently has more than 3,000 likes and almost 200 comments - a mixture of people sharing their surprise at HRH’s visit and their love for Clover.
One comment reads: “She went to Stroud bro and I missed it.”
Another person said: “The day I don't go into Stroud. I’m crying, I missed it.”
Another reads: “I swear nobody knows she lives literally up the road in Minchinhampton.”
Princess Anne made the trip last week to officially open the Five Valleys Medical Practice.
The town’s VIP guest was also treated to a tour of the newly revamped shopping centre to meet shop owners and producers.
