What a RIOT! I’d love to see the look on their faces when they are told. Who doesn’t recognize the QUEEN?
Went to London and Windsor once, and I was in complete awe at being next to her house. The flag was up, indicating she was home. It was thrilling to be there. I also went on a tour to meet her horses and see all of the carriages, including Princess Di’s wedding carriage.

Can't you just picture her delightfully mischievous grin while this encounter took place.

What a great story! Thanks for sharing.
Going to brag a little bit, I have been lucky enough to go to Buckingham Palace and attend a garden party, my dh was in uniform and he got a chance to speak with Prince Philip and it was filmed by BBC. Cool to have these memories during these celebrations.

That's hilarious! I'd love if that couple would do a follow up to when they were told who she was.
Also, can you imagine working all those years for her, you age out and retire but she's still going on working. That would be a strange feeling.

How delightful! I've heard other similar stories before. I bet she's done that with lots of people who don't recognise her. I love her impish sense of humour.

Now I want the guy to see this and tell his side and what his reaction was when he realized. I can see it now, he’s invited friends over to see his slideshow of his vaca. They come to this one and tell the story. Their friends are like uhhh….

Love it--I'll bet the people were crazy surprised when they looked at their pics and showed them to friends.

That is such a funny story. Would love to hear how that played out for the hikers once someone clued them in hahaha. At least the got an actual picture with the Queen without realizing it. They could have left with only Richard’s picture. Hehe.
