With the Reading 'Royals' the visitors tomorrow, what members of the royal family have you had the pleasure / displeasure / indifference to meet ?
Had The Queen, Prince Philip, Prince William and Prince Andrew visit my desk in work over the years. Never got to speak to any of them bit did of huge amount of pretending to look busy when i was supposed to, and very positive smiling and fawning when i was supposed to.
The Queen just oozed class and looked wonderful, as a huge royalist it was a pleasure to have been in such close company with her.
What encounters have you had ?

Anyway we were in one of the boxes, I decided to pop out to the Kharzi, walking briskly/jogging to the loo, I looked behind then ahead only to walk straight into HRH Charlie, I had walked straight past his security whilst not looking where I was going! I said 'sorry mate' he said 'something along the lines of 'its no problem' and I went of for a slash!
Absolutely bizarre 2 mins of my life. I bet his security got a bollocking.
We were on a tight schedule on the job and my boss asked if I could work late and commission a small fire alarm panel in one of the blocks before I went home, needing the overtime I agreed.
One of the reasons I did agree was because we had a great team of electricians installing the fire alarm systems, so much so they even trimmed all the cables up in the panel, dressed them in to look neat and connected them so assuming this would be the case I thought I would rock up, turn it on, test the smoke detectors and be home at a reasonable time.
Wrong.......I opened the panel in the reception of the block at approx. 17.00 and as I did so all the cables tumbled out like a ball of spaghetti, I was gutted as it would mean I would be working well into the early hours.
As I was standing there scratching my head wondering what I had let myself in for a mans voice behind me said "that looks complicate for this time of night" to which I replied before turning around "You can say that again, I have been fucked big time"
When I did turn round I was faced with a grinning Prince Andrew and one step behind him a security guard trying to stifle his laughter. My face must have looked a picture all I could muster after that was "Ooops" before the door opened and the security guard ushered Andrew out into his waiting Jag.
She oozed class, and there were thousands in the room that love her.
I love The Queen. Not so sure about the rest of them...
I couldn't get over how short he was as I always thought of him as a tall man.
Camilla was also in here as well last year as my company were doing some work with Baranardo's which she is heavily involved with.
She was very pleasant and polite but she really is an ugly horse faced old hag, I bet Charlie boy lasts f***ing ages when he's hammering away.
But I did see Dianna's funeral car from a bridge on the M1 in Watford. I knew that I was watching history unfold.
