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...

can't think of a catchy titlea mate of mine used to work at ascot racecourse and on racedays had to get there ridiculously early in the morning to stand any chance of finding a parking space. one raceday during royal week a couple of years ago, he arrived later than usual and had to bung his car wherever he found room - as it turns out, halfway across the entrance to one of the car parks.
so he goes up to his office to get on with the days duties. a few hours later his mobile phone rings and it turns out to be the police. they'd tracked down his mobile number based on his car registration number, in order to tell him that his car was preventing the queen's carriage from getting into the racecourse!
ok, so it wasn't me, and he didn't actually meet any royalty, but it's the thought that counts!
