The highly revered Queen of England has been nearly shot while taking a walk round her palace in the wee hours of the morning.
Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth II has been nearly killed by one of own palace guards, The Independent reports.
Apparently, one of the perks of being a member of the hereditary UK
monarchy is that you have armed guards watching over you at all hours.
However, that apparently almost backfired for the Queen when she
decided to take a late-night walk around the palace grounds and came
close to being shot.
An ex-guardsman who was speaking to The Times, said from time to
time her majesty is said to struggle to sleep. During a spell of
insomnia, the 90-year-old will occasionally put on her coat and go for a
short stroll.
Late one night, he said he was patrolling inside the perimeter of the Palace walls when he spotted a figure in the darkness.
Thinking that he had caught a potentially dangerous intruder,
sneaking into the Royal residence at 3am, he shouted: “Who’s that?”
But to his surprise, it was actually the Queen.
“Bloody hell, Your Majesty, I nearly shot you,” he is reported to have said, on impulse.
Perhaps realising this wasn't the tone to be used when addressing
the Queen, he told The Times he expected a telling off. But the Queen
reportedly took responsibility for putting him in such an awkward
position.
“That’s quite all right,” she replied. “Next time I’ll ring through beforehand so you don’t have to shoot me.”
It is believed the encounter happened at the Queen’s normal weekday residence, Buckingham Palace.
In 2013, Prince Andrew was also mistaken for an intruder and confronted by armed police as he walked in the vast gardens.
Police said no weapons were drawn but issued an apology to the
prince, despite the palace having been subject to several real security
breaches in recent years.
In August, a 22-year-old man was arrested just after 4am after
climbing over a security fence. He was spotted by officers monitoring
CCTV.
In May, Denis Hennessy, 41, climbed over barbed wire and roamed the
palace grounds for about 10 minutes while The Queen, Prince Philip,
and Prince Andrew were in residence.
When he was found by officers he repeatedly asked them: “Is Ma’am in?”
Before that, in 2013, a man scaled the perimeter fence and was
found at around 10pm actually inside the building, in one of the State
Rooms. None of the royals were home at the time.
The news of the near-shooting comes at a time when the public is
particularly tuned into the Queen’s wellbeing. The elderly monarch was
not seen for a fortnight over the Christmas period due to poor health.
