London [UK], Sep 09 (ANI): Britain’s longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, breathed her last at Balmoral Castle on Thursday, aged 96. During her tenure as Royal Head of the Commonwealth and Monarch of the United Kingdom, the Queen had many standout moments that proved she had a certain sense of wit and humor. In remembrance of the Queen, let’s take a look back at five of her wittiest moments.
1. When she almost terrified the King of Saudi Arabia in a car at a time when the Saudi monarch didn’t allow women to drive in the country

In 2003, when Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah visited the Queen in Scotland, the Queen offered to take her on a tour. As she drove him around in her Land Rover, it was reported that the Crown Prince, who was not used to being driven by women, was both amused and terrified.
2. When she photographed two Australian hockey players

People around the world have immense respect for the Queen and the Royal Family. Understandably, people think the royals are uptight and don’t really interact much with commoners.
The Queen at the 2014 Commonwealth Games surprised everyone with a smile for a photo in the background of a selfie taken by two Australian hockey players.
3. When she outwitted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
The Queen met the Canadian Prime Minister in Malta in 2015 for dinner. During his interaction with the Queen, Trudeau said he was the 12th prime minister of Canada to serve during her reign as monarch.
The Queen, while toasting the dinner, scoffed at the moment and said, “Thank you, Mr Prime Minister of Canada, for making me feel so old!”, which divided everyone . Quite a hilarious moment!
4. Hilarious banter with former US President George W Bush
Former US President George W Bush once misspoke when he said that the Queen had already celebrated America’s bicentennial in 1776. He was supposed to say 1976 but ended up saying 1776.
The Queen then teased him about the comedic slip-up and said: “I was wondering if I should start this toast by saying, ‘When I was here in 1776…’
5. When she spoke to an intruder at Buckingham Palace
As seen in ‘The Crown’ Season 4, an intruder named Michael Fagan once entered the Queen’s bedroom in 1982, leading to the palace’s biggest security breach, the Queen spoke to him for about 10 minutes before being taken into custody (according to history and many 20th century news reports). (ANI)
