A Man Once Snuck Into Her Room
Have you heard about the time a man broke into her Buckingham Palace bedchamber? Michael Fagan is alleged to have woken her up and had a ten-minute conversation with the Queen. She attempted a few times to contact security, to little success. It was fortunate that she was eventually rescued by a royal worker not long after he had broken in. In the fourth season of The Crown, this incident was reenacted.
It Was Not Always Like This
Even though her interactions with the general public are now very guarded, it was not always this way. As a matter of fact, there was a night that she spent fraternizing with civilians and military personnel as they celebrated on the streets of London. This was when she was not yet the Queen but just a princess. We know that it sounds made-up, but this truly happened a long time ago.
