Sigh. This story was wonderful. The simple fact that those 2 americans didn't recognize her probably made that day very enjoyable for her. She was a good person.
Yes she was a good person, all her life she has been . Despite some stupid and ridiculous stories about her . There are always going to be people who do not like others for one reason or another. But the Queen has many people in this world who know and realise how well she has done all her life in leading many nations. Even at 96 two days before her own death still working. Bless her on her journey 🇬🇧🌹🙏
oh yes. the one that treated people like animals in the great famine of bengal. she was a really nice person. i second that. i have so much respect for the colonisers of my country!
@@manmxhit1694 When did the Queen treat people like animals in the great famine of bengal? The great famine took place in 1770. If refering to the famine in 1943 she wasn't Queen yet but just a teenager, where did she personally "treat people like animals"?
Key word 'WAS'
@@stfrancischurchheadleydown6506 she’s in a box calm down
This story is so funny and this man told it very well. I've been watching this on repeat for a dozen times now!
Same. It deserves to go viral!
Same here... I first saw it on Facebook
A lovely story , made me smile
thats kinda sad tbh
@@johannst.bernard4333 Why is it sad? Because they didn't recognize her or because she preferred being unrecognizable? Remember, she grew up to age 10 perceiving her father and mother to be very appreciative that they were not in the limelight as they both detested it. Then her uncle King Edward abdicated, forcing her father to become King George VI and her mother Queen Elizabeth, Queen regnant, later Queen Mother. HM herself was not as averse to the limelight as her parents were, but didn't seek it out either.
This is the one story that I never forget about the Queen. I hope she had a wonderful and happy life
of course, she did. after all, she plunderd 3/4th of the world.
@@sv8211 yea cuz she was totally alive during the colonial days of Britain…
@@husonuso And?
@@sazzieb1 what hes saying is she had nothing too do with the past...And as an Eglish lad from Newcastle il never say sorry for anything the Empire did ... Becasue i didnt take part in it an dwe have moved on...Its tiem other salty snowflakes do too
@@husonuso Oh please, Britain was the best thing to happen to those shitholes ruled by nutjobs. There wasn't even an India (Only geographically) before the East India Company.
This story relates how mischievous HM was and how gracious she was . Had she told them they would have been embarrassed. She saved them from that. She had a photo taken with them as well so later they don’t regret they didn’t include her. A gift given to them by HM of the value they would later recognise. I pray she rests in peace. Elizabeth The Great.
Well said! May her memory always be a blessing
yeah, I'm glad they manage to take a picture with her in the end
Hear hear.
I've heard that her sense of humor is priceless and this story is a perfect example.
RIP
Amen ❤xx
I find the general British sense of humor to be priceless. Nothing like it.
I bet the Queen loved being treated as an ordinary person for possibly the only time in her life due to those genuinely innocent Americans.
I'm Brazilian, and in the 19th century we had an emperor called Pedro II. He once travelled to America to enjoy its 100 years of independence, and one of his greatest moments in life was walking among people and be treated like an ordinary man, because no one knew who he was. Except for politicians, he always identified himself just as "Pedro de Alcantara".
She probably does, she also probably loves the realisation that people have
This is such a lovely story, I will never forget it. I do hope Richard writes a book about his time with the queen. He is such a lovely chap , I think many people would love to hear some of the stories he has to tell. His book would be such a lovely reminder of how funny she was , and just a genuine person . Bless her on her journey to be with Prince Philip. She will be remembered for many many years to come . With love and affection 🕊❤️🕊
The queen's father helped up my great aunt when she slipped on an icy path on Arthur's seat in Edinburgh she didn't realise who he was at first but got a shock when she did !
No other monarchs in the world world do this. And I don't care what any bad nations say about how they hate the British, I defy them to find similar stories from their countries
@@vueport99 nobody would hate the british if your country wasn't a jewish financial headquarterr
I would've been flustered because he was so handsome! then flustered because he's the King!
@@vueport99 In 2001, the Swedish king Carl XVI Gustav was attacked by a person throwing a pie in his face. The security detail jumped on the attacker, and when it turned out it wasn't any worse than a pie, the king helped him up and asked if he was ok.
I've listened to this at least 10 times! What a natural orator this officer is! I played this for my dad too and he has watched it many times as well.
I can imagine it must have been so refreshing for the Queen to for once be asked to take a picture and be treated like a normal person..
When I first saw this my first thought was "god bless the Queen".
She was an absolute legend, and will continue to live on in our hearts, along with all the amazing stories and things she has done over the years.
I was told this story earlier today in a team meeting. All I did was smile throughput the whole story. That once I got a chance, I just had ro watch it for myself. And now can't stop watching it...
This is my favourite story about the queen ever - I’m so thankful to this gentleman for sharing it as it makes me laugh every-time!
The story that cannot be bettered, surely? I really hope this story is being told across the pond, by two American tourists!
This is such a great story! As an American, I can’t say that I would have recognized her either if she was just out on a walk. The only pictures we would see of Her Majesty were those where she was dressed in her bright color dresses and hats. I imagine on this outing she was dressed as a lovely grandmother, but not to the nines. I think I would have liked her though.
Yeah I remember those pictures with her in "granny style” clothes, hairs hidden under a scarf and absolutely normal looking. I wish they could find those american tourists...
She wore a plaid skirt and headscarf, hiding her unique haircut. 😂❤ Miss her
They should make a film just solely about her majesty's witt and sense of humor with actors playing her and dickie..
Absolutely lovely story and well told by someone who really knew her. Shows she had a quirky sense of humour too which sometimes goes unnoticed
I watched this live. Never forgot it. Still one of the best stories.
That is hilarious!! Wish I could see those Americans faces when they find out!😂😂😂😂😂
What a wonderful memory he shared for us to enjoy!
Posting this mssg after the queen’s death, I just saw this on cnn and as an American I had to laugh hard at this!
May Her Majesty and her wonderful humor Rest In Peace ❤️
That's amazing. We need to find that couple and see the photos they took!
Wouldn't that be fantastic, I hope they do come forward 😊
@@bronwynfield4870 i would be embarrassed to come forward but it would be fun nevertheless
Watching and rewatching, Queen's a prankster 🤣❤️❤️❤️
And that’s why we love her !
RIP
Best story ever! He’s a great story teller too! I loved it.
I wish those men would show us the picture and give their side. Gosh I love this story so much.
It really bothers me when I read the attacks on her even moments after her death. It sickens me. Even IF she was flawed, there is a lack of class and intelligence in people who would peck away at a dead old woman.
Or any normal deceased person for that matter... the exception being criminals who can't escape this courtesy because history is there for us to learn from and be better.
Utterly fantastic story, RIP Your majesty.
We need a response from the 2 Americans. Great story
I could not agree more. Would be great if they came forward and allowed someone to interview them.
Yes! Would be great to see the photos!
What a wholesome story. I want to see the photos. Wish the tourist would share it.
She's such a prankster! Love her! RIP your majesty!
I love this. I wish he'd relate many more anecdotes like this.
lol, it's so funny. I am sure Queen really enjoyed that moment. Thanks for sharing. It makes my day 😀
I've never given two thoughts about the queen or the royal family but this is a great story and what sounds like a wonderful lady. What a great sense of humor.
Such a sweet story. God bless her.
She sounded lovely. Condolences from America.
That is an amazing story, however just makes me more sad that we have lost her :(
This story and her meeting with David Attenborough are my favourite things about the Queen. I would have loved to have gone to the pub with her - I bet she had some stories to tell!
How can anyone who meets the Queen in person and not recognize who she is? After all, she is the most famous woman in the world.
They are Americans...
Her appearance has changed quite a bit over the years. Besides, her picture didn't appear in the papers or on TV very frequently, and when it did it was often archival footage, so people-especially foreigners-could be forgiven for not recognizing her in person.
@@petep.2092privately she was very down key. On holiday in Scotland she used to drive a mundane Morris Minor Traveler.
Her daughter, the princess royal is much the same.
Her style of clothing was totally different from what we saw in public. Simply a Scottish grandmother, with a headscarf and glasses. 😂
I love this, watch it many times and i feel sad we don't have the Queen anymore. Love from Romania😍
Fantastic story. Says it all.
I hope the person comes forward and tells us who told him it was the Queen or how he found out 🤣
Not today
@@Dragon-Slay3r maybe soon, the story is now out everywhere on tv
😂
Not Today . So do I, that would be wonderful to hear! RIP Your Majesty, thankyou for your outstanding service 💕💔
Surely with it being viral now someone is bound to know who they were
I want to hear so many more stories!
a lovely lady who will be greatly missed
omg..I bet they felt like the worst fools ever when they figured out who she was...this was a awesome story
So heartbroken RIP Your Majesty
love it , warm to the heart
Would love to hear the post script to this story from the American couple after learning the truth :D
Just a normal conversation. I love the Queen because she's mine
Love this!
Great story!
Such a wonderful story... I expect he has a few more he cannot share.....Wasn't she wonderful, our Queen. RIP
Awwww I so would like those hikers to come forward with those photos 🤣🤣😂
Am i the only one who is dying to track down these 2 tourists? 😅
no 😆
no 😂
Nope
This is an awesome story lol 🤣 very hilarious.
Her Majesty's humbleness has her reward reserved in heaven... RIP my Queen 👑 😭💔
This is gonna be VIRAL!!!
Oh hon! I absolutely loved it! Thanks so very, very much!!
Love this! R.I.P. Your Majesty 🌹
This is probably the best story that illustrates how the Queen was the perfect person for the role she was in.
i love this!
This is great!
SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND THE PHOTO. AT ALL COSTS. THE WORLD HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW
Have the hikers ever come forwards with the photos? It would be great to hear their side of the story
Absolutely lovely story
Delightful story.
That man knows some things.. and some stuff.
Everybody who met her has said how funny she was. I don't know why, but that matters to me! I'm just a bit sad.
Great story.
My dream is to see her in person too, and admire her so much being in reign for 70 yrs.
this aged well lol
And one day we all shall meet her in heaven and see her lovely smile
I love this story.
That's genuinely funny 🤣
May her Majesty rest in peace 🙏🏾
Brilliant, she was a beautiful human being.
I love this.
Love the story!
Rest in peace nana Liz
Tht is such a funny story only her majesty could pull tht off wtout letting slip who c was
How was there not more armed security detail with her on such a walk that two strangers could approach her like that? Was it only this one gentleman, presumably armed as the Queen's Policeman? But he said he was caught off guard by that American who put his hands on his shoulders to suddenly take a picture?
That would be unthinkable with most Royalty in other parts of the world. If they didn't meet these strangers, I wouldn't have wondered.
probably they were nearby so she can enjoy her picnic without being surrounded by guards plus as he said it he figured it after they meet they did not recognise her that lowers the danger to her since to them she was just an old lady
Queen Elizabeth the definition of class. The genuine love of others for this lovely lady, her royal majesty is a living testament to her grace. May she be engraved by God’s love and forgiveness.
Phenomenal
I want to see the photos!
Adorable story
I Love the Queen, I Love the idea that there's still a World that can't be ordinary
Now only if that American couple would come forward and show us the photos they took....
Best story ever ❤️
What a delightful encounter
Brilliant
I watch this once a month
Awesome story!
I ❤️ this so much🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love that story
I'm serprised there isnt a youtube video by some Americans about the time they met the Queen. Or maybe they still don't know.
good story
Brilliant. What a great sense of humour
He should write a book about it
That's why we love The Queen so much.
🌹🌹 R.I.P
Darling story. Says a lot about her, doesn't it?
Well spoken lad
