Question

I found them charming and witty.Have you met anyone from the royal family and if so were they what you expected?

Answer 1

yes I met Charles twice when I was on the Prince&#039;s Trust.  He was ok.

Answer 2

I have met Her Majesty the queen Prince Philip Prince Charles and Princess Anne and found them all very charming witty and very pleasant indeed this was at a garden Party at the Palace and also at an investiture which I felt very proud to attend

Answer 3

the queen mother gave me my degree. she was every bit as charming as i&#039;d imagined.

Answer 4

Yes and Yes.

Answer 5

I was at a set of traffic lights in Edinburgh once and the Queens car pulled up next to mine at the traffic lights....she was with one of her ladies in waiting i think...not talking to each other. We were there for a couple of minutes and as we looked over (as you would!) she looked me straight in the eye so me and my mate gave her a polite little wave and a nod of the head, just to say &#039;hello your maj&#039; etc...we are quite nice people...not chavs, good jobs, nice car and the like....

She completely blanked us. Totally ignored the pair of us, it&#039;s as if we weren&#039;t even there, stared straight through me she did!

So my one brush with royalty was not a good one..it wouldn&#039;t have cost her anything (does she pay for anything anyway?) just to smile and say hello? eh? Manners are free aren&#039;t they? when my parents raised me i was expected to respond politely when anyone said hello to me but i suppose she&#039;s the bloody queen and doesn&#039;t have to play by the bloody rules. The Cow.    

Anyway, Gawd bless her cotton socks......

Answer 6

Spoke to prince phillip as a brownie (guard of honour)  on a royal visit - he asked &quot;do you wear your uniform every day?&quot;

Being a tad young  I replied &quot;Nuh, only on Saturdays&quot;  

He was obviously enjoying himself, then got the &quot;look&quot; from her majesty and quickened his step!!

Answer 7

I&#039;ve never personally met any member of the Royal family but I know people who have. Prince Philip is apparently extremely witty.

Answer 8

I&#039;ve been to a few lunches where Prince Phillip was the guest of honour.  He&#039;s a bit of an old fascist (so are most of his generation), but good value.  

I&#039;ve also met Chuck and Di, but I was about number 90 in the line-up. (Hello, have you come far? - next).

Answer 9

yes, i spoke to a member of the royal family, they told me you was a right numpty
