The newly crowned Queen was the honoree of a private dinner party in the 1950s, which presented a tricky situation for her host.
More songs were to be sung by singer Maurice Chevalier, who was crooning among the crowd in Knightsbridge, but they had fruity lyrics and were most definitely not appropriate to be sung in front of a monarch.
The presenter made the decision that they had no choice but to speak with the young Queen Elizabeth and inquire about her preferences. I’m married to a sailor, she simply said as she confronted him with a steely glare. Get him to keep singing!
Just a few weeks later, the Queen engaged in another royal engagement in Bolton, where she spoke with the eager crowds.
A frazzled teen mother battling with a wailing infant was one of them. The mother, overcome with shame and in tears, mumbled, “I’m so sorry, I’m just so sorry.”
The Queen cheerfully assured the mother, “Don’t worry, aid is on the way… Philip, take the baby!” as she grinned at her. The Queen reassuringly told the mother not to worry as she gently handed the child to a delighted Prince Philip. We are aware of how it is, she added.
These kinds of incidents weave a fascinating picture of our unseen Queen, who is benevolent, pragmatic, and unexpectedly down to earth. a young girl who once dreamed of becoming a farmer’s wife yet grew up to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
Here, we share with you sweet glimpses into her life along with the amazing tales that go along with them.
