London, July 12 (ANI): Queen Elizabeth II went berserk when a photographer asked her to take off her crown while shooting a BBC documentary about the monarch. Her Majesty posed in full Royal regalia for celebrity snapper Annie Leibovitz, but was suggested that she should take off her crown because she looked over dressed. Furious, the Queen stared at the photographer and refused to accept her suggestion.
“I’m not changing anything,” the Sun quoted the monarch as barking. Being a straight-talker, Annie insisted that the sparkling headgear was making the Queen look “too dressy”. “I think it will look better without the crown because the garter robe is so .
.,” she said. She had hardly finished her sentence with the word “extraordinary” that the Queen blasted her in a fit of rage.
“Less dressy? What do you think this is?” said the grimacing Queen.
Soon after the Queen walked out in a huff with a flunkey lifting the long train of her blue velvet cape. The shooting for the fly-on-the-wall documentary was being held in Buckingham Palace for a series of portraits to mark the monarch’s State visit to the US. She was heard telling a lady-in-waiting: “I’m not changing anything.
I’ve had enough dressing like this, thank you very much.” Titled ‘A Year With The Queen’, the five-part series aims to show her day-to-day life as she goes about her Royal duties. The series starts in the autumn.
