He continued, “So the guy said to me, ‘So you’ve met the Queen? What’s she like?’ And since I’d known her a long time and could pull her leg, I said, ‘Well, she can be very cantankerous at times but has a lovely sense of humor.’ Next thing I knew, this guy puts his arm around my shoulder, gives his camera to the Queen, and says, ‘Can you take a picture of the two of us?'”
He added, “Anyway, we swapped locations and I took an image of them with the Queen, and we by no means let on. As we waved goodbye, Her Majesty stated to me, ‘I’d like to be a fly on the wall when he exhibits these pictures to his associates in America, and hopefully somebody tells him who I’m.’”
