Can you imagine meeting Queen Elizabeth in everyday life or on vacation? You would think that the Queen would always be surrounded by bodyguards, but that is not the case. There is a person who actually bumped into the Queen while walking down the street, and I would like to share with you the sensible and humorous response the Queen took.
I have never met her, but this policeman did.
Queen Elizabeth, 96, has always loved the outdoors and is known to value her space and privacy. In the summer she stays at her favorite place, Balmoral Castle in Scotland, and at Christmas she stays in Norfolk from December to February. During her stay, the queen is said to enjoy her freedom, often going for long walks and stopping at local village stores to shop.
The public is accustomed to seeing Queen Elizabeth wearing brightly colored hats and coats, so there is a good chance that they will not recognize her if she appears in unusual attire.
One elderly lady said that this is exactly what happened to her when she came across the queen walking into a small store in the village wearing her usual clothes and a scarf around her head.
How she was not recognized as the person in question is reported by the British media outlet The Mirror, based on the testimony of Juliet Pannett, an artist.
Queen Elizabeth was about to enjoy afternoon tea at Sandringham House in Norfolk when she realized there was no cake, so she put her trademark scarf on her head and walked to the village store to buy some.
At that moment, an elderly lady said to Queen Elizabeth, “Oh my, you look just like the Queen. To which the Queen replied, “How reassuring that I am the Queen.
Incredible as it may seem, this is not the first time a member of the public has met the Queen and failed to recognize her. One year, when the Queen was walking near Balmoral Castle in Scotland, a group of American tourists asked her, “Have you met the Queen?” The Queen was asked by a group of American tourists if she had ever met them. The Queen pointed to Richard Griffin, a Royal Guard officer standing nearby, and responded humorously, “I have never met her, but this policeman has.
Also in 1991, at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, when a security guard told her, “I’m sorry, but you can’t get in without a sticker,” the Queen replied.
I’m sure I can get in if you check.”
The guard later revealed that he thought the queen was a lovely elderly woman who had lost her way.
Queen Elizabeth celebrated the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne this year. Her sense of humor, curiosity, and sense of fun are probably the reasons why she has been loved by the people for so long.
