A funny & true story about the late Queen:

Around 2005, the Queen and her uniformed Personal Protection Officer, Dick Griffin, were walking alone one afternoon in the hills near the Scottish royal castle, Balmoral.

Two tourists approached them, and engaged in conversation.

Griffin recalls:
“There were two hikers coming towards us, and the Queen would always stop and say hello to such. They were two Americans on a walking holiday.

"It was clear from the moment we stopped that they hadn't recognized the Queen, at which she took no notice.

"The American gentleman was telling the Queen where they came from, where they were going next, and where they'd been in Britain.

"I could see it coming, and sure enough, he said to Her Majesty: 'And where do you live?'

"She replied: 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home just the other side of the hills.'

"He said: 'How long have you been coming up here?'

"She replied: 'I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl, so over 80 years.'

"You could see the cogs whirring, so he said: 'Well, if you've been coming up here for over 80 years, you must have met the Queen.'

"Quick as a flash, she said: 'I haven't, but Dick here meets her regularly.'

The hiker then asked Griffin what the monarch was like in person.

"Because I had been in her service a long time and knew I could pull her leg, I said: 'Oh, she can be cantankerous at times, but it’s offset by a winning sense of humour.'

The next thing I knew this guy comes round, puts his arm on my shoulder, and before I could see what was happening he gets his camera, GIVES IT TO HER, and asks, 'Would you take a picture of the two of us, please?’

"Then we swapped places, and I took their picture with the Queen.

"We never let on, and waved goodbye.

"Afterwards, Her Majesty said to me: 'I should love to be a fly on the wall when they show those photographs to friends in America”.
