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...

Prince CharlesSo yeah.. My Mum and Dad go to Scotland to visit some relatives a few years back. They loved a good ramble they did, so with Scotland being a rambler's wet dream, with fields and sheep and stuff, they decide to spend an afternoon walking over a hill.
So anyway.. they're walking over this hill when who should come trotting into view but none other than Prince Charles, on a horse! He slows down, gives a hoity toity royal wave, what what, and actually stops to have a chat. Like, a real, actual conversation.
Can't recall what he said, probably something about the weather and, um.. scotland maybe. Anyway, he trotted off after a couple of minutes happy that he'd, like, 'connected' with some British people. However, for the following few weeks after they got back my Mum turned into Hyacinth Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances, convinced that Prince Charles was now a close friend of the family and casually dropping her encounter into conversation whenever she could. Thank God that phase is all over!
