The video, which was shared on Twitter to the dismay of royal supporters, shows a woman understood to be owner Jaki Pickett shouting: “London Bridge has fallen! Ouch!”
She was shown waving a bottle of suds while someone off-camera shouted: “Liz the Lizard is dead!”
The video sparked outrage and appears to have led to furious neighbors gathering outside her shop.

The Ross-shire Journal reports that they were escorted from the building by police.
Police Scotland confirmed their presence but said no further action was needed.
The National Federation of Fish Fryers (NFFF) revoked the shop’s membership of the UK-wide group and said the post was “in extremely poor taste”.
Andrew Crook, chairman of the organisation, said: “We believe in freedom of speech, but this post went beyond that.
“It is completely contrary to the beliefs and values that the NFFF and the fish and chip industry hold dear.”
A spokesman for the force said: “Just after 8.30pm. on Thursday, September 8, officers attended an operation in the Seaforth Road area of Muir of Ord following reports of a large crowd gathering in the area.
“Officers remained at the scene to ensure the safety of everyone present and the group then dispersed peacefully.
“No further police action is required.”
