For someone like a queen Queen Elizabeth II. The little things can be rare in life. For example, an inexperienced conversation, without any proprietary reservations on the part of the interlocutors. One of the king’s employees told the British newspaper “The Times” a particularly charming story.

Accordingly, the Queen was walking around her residence at Balmoral Castle in Scotland when a group of American tourists approached her. They clearly had no idea that the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain was standing before them.

Instead of educating ignorant tourists, the Queen apparently enjoyed small, unexpected conversations in disguise and allowed herself many jokes. When asked if she lives in the area, she answers that she owns a house nearby.
