Queen laughs at awkward moment her speech is interrupted

QUEEN Elizabeth II is the ultimate personification of class and grace. But it doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a cheeky side, as this nervous producer discovered.

THE Queen’s professional approach to recorded speeches has earned her the nickname “One-take Windsor”.

But a new clip from ITV’s Queen Of The World shows a very nervous production crew member asking her to rerecord last year’s Christmas speech — after it was ruined by a bird, The Sun reports.

The footage from the ITV documentary, which airs on Tuesday, shows the Queen reading the annual message at her desk.

But the crew member then reveals that birdsong from the Buckingham Palace garden ruined the recording and asks her to “redo it from the top”.

She gives him a steely gaze and asks: “From the top of the second page?”

Nervously he replies “From the very start … if possible.”

The documentary also features footage of Meghan Markle being reunited with her wedding dress.

And she reveals that she kept a piece of fabric from the dress she wore on her first date with Prince Harry and sewed it into her wedding gown, as her “something blue.”
