The Queen is known for a wicked sense of humour. I watched a former bodyguard being interviewed about the time near Balmoral in Scotland when he and the Queen were out walking in the area. They encountered a couple of tourists who didn't recognize her. They started chatting and when the tourists found out they lived nearby they asked if they had met the Queen. She replied she hadn't but Dick (the bodyguard) had. They immediately wanted a picture with him which she obliged by taking. They then took one with her. As they walked away she said to Dick.."would love to be there when they show that to someone who recognizes me".
That is such a good story! It would be great to hear the version of the story from the perspective of the two tourists.
it sure would. I'm kind of surprised no one has told the rest of the story. Unless they felt too embarrassed at not recogizing her.
