How Queen Elizabeth II pranked American tourists?

All around the world we were so lucky to have this wonderful tiny little woman to look up to. She was wonderful!!!

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

That's just the thing. There are many, many people like her. She said so herself: An ordinary person in an extraordinary situation. Being so normal under the circumstances is precisely what made her so special.

[@juliadove1006]

@@karenevansville9328 Well, I’m not telling a tall story. It was most definitely HRH. I looked her full in the face, from about 6 feet away, and her smile is/was unmistakable. It was, for me, a very special, and unforgettable, incounter.

[@lizlemon9]

There was the story about her stopping by a tea room near Sandringham. Two British ladies at a nearby table told her that she looked so much like the Queen. The Queen once again delivered a priceless remark, “That’s so reassuring.”

[@Margaret-ud6qb]

It’s been a privilege to have had Queen Elizabeth as our head of state since I was 2 years old in 1952 until her sad passing. She is truly missed. What an extraordinary woman who loved her people all over the world.

[@BarbaraFischbach]

The Queen was there for my entire life. Born in 1952

[@AussiePom]

The British often forget that she wasn't just queen of England Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland but queen of the whole Commonwealth. She was just a much a head of state to people living in distance countries as she was to those living in Britain.

[@AussiePom]

You hardly need a promotion when you're in the top job to begin with.

[@draganminic4928]

WRONG!!! On 09/09/2015, Queen Elizabeth II was promoted to "The longest serving British monarch."

[@AussiePom]

@@draganminic4928 How can you be promoted to longest serving monarch when you already are. A promotion for her or any monarch would be the absolute ruler of Britain or in other words the politicians doing what they're told by the monarch not the other way round. If they won't do as they're told then off with their head!, like they used to do. If you're promoted then you leave your present job to begin a new one. The monarch can't be promoted for they're in the top job to begin with and if they leave it's called abdication and it's not being promoted for abdication is a demotion. On the 9/09/2015 Queen Elizabeth II was awarded the title of Longest Serving Monarch not promoted to it. There is a subtle difference.

They had a week of mourning in the UK when she died and in Australia we had a paid public holiday. When her husband the Duke died I knew she wouldn't be long for this world and she wasn't either. Sure she had a loving family round her but it's not the same for the central pivot in her life was gone and she saw no real reason to carry on without him.

[@juliadove1006]

I had my own Queen incounter. I was riding towards Kingston Surry, on my very young, but very big black Irish Draft horse. We were passing the high brick walls of what are known local as the Queens Paddocks. I had been told that this was where the Queen was looking to breed some superior coloured drum horses. Who knows! I was just about to pass in front of the 8 foot high unmarked, wooden, access gates, swung open. A green Morris Minor estate, ‘woody’ pulled out. A little woman in an old tweed hacking jacket, wearing a big silk scarf on her head, opened the gate to drive out at me through the open window. It was the Queen!! I did a sort of double take, and halted. She looked up at me. I looked dawn at Her! She gave me and my horse a quick u throughly knowledgeable up and down, smiled briefly, and drove off towards Hamption Court. This was before the fire. Those were the days, when our monarch felt quite safe driving about “ incognito “ without a security guard. And she was.

I absolutely loved these little stories about how late Queen.

[@LoveLady-wn3eg]

See, this is one of the many things that I loved and admired about Queen Elizabeth; and that is that even though she was so very famous and tremendously well loved and admired the world over, she was still a very down to earth, real and humble lady. She did have the right priorities, like duty and the people she loved. She could wear jewels and crowns, and the most elegant exquisite attire, and I think that it mattered little to her, because that wasn't where her heart was. Those things were probably just material things to her. She ruled and reigned by serving her people. I love her and I miss her so much! 👑🌹🌷💐 ***** Last year, in August or September, I was thinking alot about Queen Elizabeth, and I remember saying Queen Elizabeth's name in my mind, and I actually "heard" something like a thought voice, say to me, "I'm not Queen anymore, just Elizabeth". Can you believe it?!

QE2 and my Granny Esther bore a striking resemblance to each other, even as young women.

I’ve met many famous people through working at a small, but expensive restaurant in metro Detroit. What I learned quickly, is you might not recognize celebrities because you’re used to seeing them in movies and television, which is a flat representation of them. When you meet them in life, you’re seeing their face in depth, and they’re actually talking to you. I think it’s why sometimes when seeing celebrities, people stare, they can’t believe they’re actually seeing a person they’ve been familiar with perhaps their whole life. It’s especially strange when you meet someone you find attractive, it happened to me a few times. I nearly made a fool of myself once when I met David Groh who played Rhoda’s husband in the 1970’s.

[@bradanneroberts3137]
