WITH an endless list of royal rules and etiquette, most of us freak out a little at the prospect of bumping into the Queen of England — including her grandson, Prince Harry.

In a trailer for the new documentary Queen of the World, the Duke of Sussex is seen chatting with hospitality workers from the Caribbean, who have won places in the Royal Household in a scheme established by the monarch.

“You guys have spent way more time in Buckingham Palace than I ever have — and you’ve only been here two weeks,” Prince Harry, 34, told them.

“Have you bumped into the Queen yet? If you suddenly bump into her in the corridor, don’t panic. I know you will. We all do.”

Harry, along with his new wife Meghan Markle, are among a host of royals who are set to appear in the two-part ITV documentary.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be interviewed, along with Her Majesty, Prince Charles, Prince William, Princess Anne and Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

It marks Meghan’s first television interview since her wedding and the doco will see her discuss taking on a host of new duties.

In the preview, the Duchess of Sussex, 37, is filmed inspecting her bridal veil — which featured an embroidered flower from every country in the Commonwealth — and exclaiming, “53 countries, oh my goodness, it will keep us busy”.

The former actor appears to be wearing the same Roland Mouret dress she sported on the day before her wedding to Harry, so it’s possible viewers will also be treated to candid footage from their big day.

Queen of the World premieres September 25 on ITV and October 1 on HBO. It’s set to air in Australia on Channel 7 soon after.
