WATCH: This 12-Year-Old Moroccan Prince Brutally Rejecting Dignitaries Is All Of Us

He does NOT like having his hand kissed. Having none of it.

Being a member of royalty would be heaps of fun, mainly because of the stuff.

But we totally agree with this little Moroccan prince when it comes to formal events – get it over with as quickly as possible and get back to the stuff.

A hilarious video of 12-year-old Moulay Hassan, Crown Prince of Morocco, is doing the rounds, probably because we can all relate.

(Anyone reminded of awkward aunt and uncle kisses at a wedding?!)

He appears to brutally snatch his hand away from every dignitary who attempts to kiss it, and gets his greeting duties done and dusted in record time.

We like his style.

In a discussion about the video on Reddit, people are suggesting that the hand snatch is actually a sign of respect, but either way – it’s pretty gas.
