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...

My twopenn'orth...I saw jeccytastic's mate too.
He was thick!
S'pose I'd better add my story about royalty.
Back in the 1980s, me and three fellow anarchists (we looked like a cross between the Sex Pistols and Swampy) went to protest outside the South Africa embassy in Trafalgar Square about the continued dentention of Nelson Mandela etc.
We had some time to kill afterwards, so we ate some mushrooms and went up to have a look at the palace. It was getting dark when we arrived.
As we stood admiring the architecture, the gates opened and a RR pulled out behind a police motorbike.
We waved to the occupant, who did a double take before regaining composure and waving regally.
It was Princess Anne.
I'll never forget her double take. It was class.
