Encounters with Royalty
My 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...

His Racist Highness the DoE
I was standing at the back of the group when getting my Duke of Edinburgh gold thingby at St. James's Palace. Although Steve Rider did the actual presenting Phil himself turned up to potter round the room grinning cadaverously and shaking hands with the non-threatening short people in the front row.
He's absolutely miniscule; probably barely up to my chin (should I have wished to be that close to him) making him about 5'2". Had a look of drink about him (at about 10 in the morning) too.
I was also once working at the counter of the kitchen of a restaurant past which the Queen was driven. She was sitting down in a car so I have no idea how tall she was.
