Encounters with RoyaltyMy good friend Jonathan once had to entertain the Queen whilst she had her portrait painted. The night before he was panicking as he didn't know any clean jokes.
Have you met someone royal? Are you royal? We'd like your story...

lardyboyYour story has the ring of truth. A friend of mine in the army had his base visited by Prince Phillip and his job was to trudge a couple of miles up the streams that ran through the base and clear them of leaves in case any floated past while HRH was there.
I saw the Queen when she opened Walsall Art Gallery. I waved a union flag and shouted "Gawd bless you, yer majesty! And Gawd bless Prince Phillip too!" which caused some laughter in the crowd. Liz was on top form, shaking hands and all that, but Phil stood at the back away from the crowds looking like someone had shat on his cornflakes that morning.
