The late Queen devoted her entire life to royal duty and was the longest serving monarch in British history - however there was reportedly one part of the job that she disliked
Throughout Queen Elizabeth II's incredible 70-year reign, she seamlessly mastered the art of engaging and disengaging with the countless individuals she met, wielding her politeness as a tool for brief but meaningful exchanges. This acquired finesse was a result of her extensive experience with innumerable events such as line-ups, garden parties, and investitures.
"'She said she always felt it would be lovely to just slip into a party, wandering around incognito, talking to anyone she felt like. But the thing that most irritated her was the 'inevitable hush' that always greeted her when they saw her walking in'". Sharing her recollections too, The Queen's first cousin Margaret Rhodes recounted: "Trafalgar Square was jammed. It was a scene of joyful whoopee full of people kissing policemen and other people. It was complete."
