Royally confused! Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway suffers a brief slip-up as she almost hops into the driver's seat of an Uber in Sydney
And the 21-year-old future queen appears to still be getting the hang of Aussie road rules.
The fair-haired royal was spotted making a slight slip-up on Saturday when she, accompanied by a gal pal, tried to hop into a waiting Uber from the wrong side.
Evidently used to left-hand drive vehicles, the princess was seen reaching for the door handle on the driver's side.
The wrong move proved most amusing to her friend who then directed the princess to the other side of the vehicle.

Showing no apparent signs of embarrassment, Ingrid Alexandra then took her seat in the car on the passenger side.
Accompanied by a female pal, Ingrid Alexandra dressed simply for her daytime outing in a long coat with a fur collar, baggy green jeans, a grey zip-up sweater, and a blue knit top.
Wearing her long hair in a ponytail, she accessorised with a set of gold hoop earrings, a small designer handbag, and carried a mobile device.
She completed her look with a pair of running shoes.
Her companion, meanwhile, wore a grey overcoat, paired with blue jeans, a low-cut black top and white sneakers.
It comes after Ingrid Alexandra was recently spotted doing a 'drink run' with a female friend.
Ingrid Alexandra, who has just started a three-year undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney, was seen on Thursday visiting a bottle shop for a crate of booze, before returning to her accommodation with a mate.
She kept her outfit casual, slipping into a pair of loose-fit white jeans and a black cardigan over a matching crew-neck shirt.

She wore a name tag on her clothes, which simply read 'Ingrid', and left her hair loose.
Ingrid Alexandra completed her look with a pair of sensible blue sneakers as she carted her purchases, which included a $21 bottle of Cat Amongst The Pigeons chardonnay.
The chic royal, who is second in line to the throne after her father, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, arrived Down Under late last month and posed on campus for a series of photos she uploaded to Instagram.
The Royal Household's full statement from Ingrid read: 'I'm looking forward to starting my studies at the University of Sydney.
'It will be exciting to become a student, and I'm looking forward to gaining new perspectives on both European and international politics.
'I'm sure that I will learn a lot.'
She marked the joyous occasion with a series of images taken around what appeared to be the University of Sydney campus.
One picture showed the royal standing in front of the establishment's tall brown brick building, while another showed her seated in front of the reception steps.
She also held a collection of white folders and envelopes, perhaps documentation linked to her studies.
Her decision to move to Australia to continue her studies comes after she embarked on military training at the Engineer Battalion in Brigade Nord last year.

Nine star Danika Mason shows off her fit figure in activewear as she takes a run in Centennial Park - after blow to her long-distance romance with rugby player Liam Knight
Danika Mason was getting her sweat on as she took a run on Tuesday. The Channel Nine presenter stripped down into skin-tight activewear as she enjoyed a day out at Sydney 's Centennial Park. The 34-year-old paired a grey top with black leggings and sneakers, her toned midriff on display. She appeared to go makeup-free for the outing, pulling her brunette locks back in a ponytail. Danika ran with her headphones in, perhaps listening to music, before taking a phone call by her car. A sheen of sweat over her skin suggested she exerted some energy during the high-octane run. Danika and her boyfriend Liam Knight have been living apart from each other for the past five months. They could now be set to reside on opposite sides of the world for another year. Knight, who signed a deal to join Super League club Hull FC back in March, has now been rewarded for his excellent form at the start of the 2025 season with a 12-month contract extension. While it is exciting news for Knight, who moved to play for the British outfit ahead of the 2025 season, it means the couple will have to continue their long-distance relationship, with Mason based 17,000km away in Australia. Knight, who hails from Alice Springs, was released by the Canterbury Bulldogs last year, after playing just two matches for the club during the 2024 season. But since his arrival at Hull FC, Knight has impressed, making 10 appearances for the club, and had initially planned to spend around seven months in the United Kingdom. The 30-year-old, who has grown to become a fan favourite at the Yorkshire-based outfit, has now spoken of his delight at putting pen to paper on the new deal. 'I'm stoked to be staying here – I really love this club and I'm really excited to see what we can keep building over the next 12 months,' he told the club's website. 'I've really fallen in love with the fans and the atmosphere, both home and away – they're so dedicated. I love the playing group we have here and the coaching staff too – it's a fun place to come to work and that's being reflected in our performances.' Mason and Knight went public with their relationship back in 2024. The footy star took to social media to publish a loved-up snap of the couple embracing, while writing: 'My life's good.' The pair have since jetted around the world together, with Mason flying to London to spend some time with her beau in October, before also travelling to Rome and Paris. Mason began dating the footy star after calling off her marriage to Todd Liubinskas. The Wide World of Sports presenter, who recently replaced Alex Cullen on Nine's Today Show, was due to tie the knot in October of last year, but cancelled the ceremony, which was due to be held at the Greystone Estate in NSW's Hunter Valley.

Tyra Banks, 51, looks decades younger as she stuns in leather corset at Freakier Friday premiere in Sydney
Tyra Banks has barely changed since her days as a Victoria's Secret runway model. The 51-year-old, who is one of America's original supermodels, is now living in Australia, where she runs an ice cream store. The stunner was on the red carpet alongside Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in Sydney on Tuesday night, and was looking decades younger than her years. Tyra turned heads in a chocolate-toned ensemble including a leather corset that cinched in her waist. It was worn over the top of a flowing, satin gown that skimmed her famous figure and featured ruching at the bust. For makeup, Tyra chose a cool and natural tone with rosy blush and a muted nude lipstick. The stunner was on the red carpet alongside Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis in Sydney on Tuesday night, and was looking decades younger than her years She completed the look by wearing her bob sleek and straightened, and added a pair of patent leather heels in a brown tone that matched her dress. Tyra recently revealed why she moved with her family to Sydney, Australia, last year - and what inspired her relocation across the world. Banks, who was born in California, has been living down under for close to two years with her son, York Banks Asla, nine, and partner, Louis Bélanger-Martin. The Life-Size actress opened up about her decision to move on while appearing as a guest co-host on Today With Jenna & Friends with Jenna Bush Hager. 'So I have this ice cream company, SMiZE and Dream,' she divulged to Hager, explaining that her products are being sold on cruises and airplanes. 'I was going to Australia a lot because we were making a lot of our ice cream there in a big facility doing our recipes, and I just fell in love with it,' she continued. Interestingly enough, the former America's Next Top Model creator revealed that Australia ranks among the top three countries that eat the most ice cream. The other two countries taking the lead are America and New Zealand. 'So I was like, "I'm happy here, and they love to eat some ice cream, so are we gonna do this, family?" And we did it!' Banks said simply about the move. During the show, Banks also filmed a 'morning in her life' video from Sydney for viewers. She started off her day by waking up at 6:30 am and making a cup of coffee before taking viewers on an adventure. 'Sydney has so many beautiful sights, but let me show you one of my favourite places to take my little boo boo, my son,' the Shake Ya Body singer shared. She then resumed filming from Tumbalong Park in Darling Harbour. 'They have what we call a little mini waterpark, they have swings and stuff for kids,' Banks shared, as she showed off the gorgeous scene, with kids and parents running around in the background.
