  • Any monarch or head of state is going to have a whole staff of people to make sure they’re safe and taken care of, but Queen Elizabeth II has some employees who do seemingly ridiculous jobs. Sure, she’s the queen, and she’s busy, but does she really need someone to wear in her shoes before she puts them on for the first time?
    The footwear specialist is just one bizarre royal job, with others including the bagpipe player who wakes her up and the official meat carver. Let’s take a look at some ridiculous jobs that Queen Elizabeth II actually has her staff do.

      Agreed, though there is a purpose to every job listed and not all receive financial compensation. Regardless of how one feels about the job in question, working for the Queen always looks good on one's resume. Here in America I have a friend who used to work on the staff at Buckingham Palace and now works at an upscale hotel in Florida. Just the mere mention of Buckingham Palace got him instantly hired at the hotel. They didn't even bother with an interview. They saw his resume and called him up and asked when he could start. They even gave him a choice between three different positions. He is now in charge of making sure the dining room staff treat all guests as royalty and he knows exactly how royalty like to be treated. he also happens to earn about twice what he was getting paid at Buckingham Palace which of course is often the reason people take jobs there in the first place. I would take a job as brass knob polish inspector there if it meant I could put on my resume that I worked at Buckingham palace and I'd do it for minimum wage.

    The royal philatelist might seem silly to some but the royal stamp collection is the largest and most valuable stamp collection in the world and is worth north of $100 million and requires a lot of attention to detail. It is equivalent to a head curator of a major museum and should actually be a full time job with a large staff. My modest stamp collection requires as much attention as this gentleman devotes to the royal stamp collection and that is actually fairly typical of any serious philatelist.

Can any Londoners reading this shed any light on whether they can go somewhere to view and learn about the Queen's pictures?

    Even this rather silly video explains that most of the somewhat archaic posts are "honorary" or ceremonial" which means that those who receive payment receive a "stipend"c which is probably that same amount as it was four or five hundred years ago - i.e. a piffling amount, but the honour of the post recognises their skills in those areas.
    It is easy for many to confuse "the Queen" (a person) with "The Crown" (a post) monarchs come and go, as they are human, but the crown is a continuous tradition and as such is where all ceremonial things and places are "owned" (The Queen doesn't "own the crowns, or most of the palaces, and other premises.
    The wearing in of shoes may sound ridiculous to some, but our ageing HRH attends many functions where she is obliged to walk or stand, and she merely ensures that she is able to meet the requirements.
    All in all the Queen (now aged 94) still works to serve the UK and commonwealth, and when inheriting the crown from her poor father in 1952 pledged to serve the people for life.
    Frankly, she has never put a foot wrong,

    I’m astonished the Queen has someone who wears in her shoes! I’d have thought she’d have had them handmade especially for her, and as such would be immediately comfortable. Astonishing! I’ve often noticed the Queens shoes over the years, even in films when she was young, plus her sisters’ and her mothers’.......and they all wore ugly and often quite ancient shoes for whatever the fashion was at the time. Very strange.

      Christine Millership Of course they are handmade. They may fit perfectly, but new shoes are new shoes, and they are never as supple as once that have been worn in properly.

      @@spencerwilton5831 As a chiropodist, it’s not advisable for anyone to wear someone else’s shoes, especially wearing them in. I do see your point, Spencer, but it’s still not a good idea.

    Trivia:
    Sid Caesar, American comedian, best known for his live television series: Your Show of Shows ... when Sid was young and his family was struggling monetarily he'd help out by making money wearing the shoes of rich children in Manhattan and breaking the shoes in for them.

      No. Taxpayers do, she is just an over indulgent useless leach, a parasite on society. If she really was a noble good person, shed sell all that extravagant shit and help dying children. Why kids still starving or can't get treatment for cancer?
