Why Queen Elizabeth took the “Water Chute Slide” in her “evening gown and tiara”?

Queen Elizabeth wore many tiaras and shook countless hands during her travels around the world. But while events like state dinners were planned down to the second, it turns out that she absolutely loved it when things went wrong. Paul Burrell, who was Queen Elizabeth's footman before becoming Princess Diana's butler, told “Marie Claire” about one hilarious incident when the royal yacht Britannia unexpectedly took the queen for a ride.

“I had many, many funny moments with the Queen,” Burrell said on behalf of Spin Genie.

“I remember when we went to Morocco on tour and Britannia was sidled up and the aisles were so steep, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I've got to go to Morocco.’ The former royal steward explained that he stepped off the yacht's gangway “to open the car door” for Queen Elizabeth, who was “in an evening dress, a tiara, and white evening gloves” on her way to the event.

“I was waiting for the queen and I saw her appear at the top. She put her hand on the rail and literally lifted her foot and slid down the aisle to the bottom,” he recalls. Go back in time and videotape this moment,” he says.

Burrell added, “I didn't expect the queen, in her formal attire of evening dress and tiara, to act as if she were in a soap park. The late queen handled the moment of sliding down the slide with aplomb, but “she thought it was hilarious,” Burrell noted.

“She looked at her gloves and they were black because she was holding onto a recently polished aisle,” Burrell said. He “ran back down the aisle to the dresser” and brought her a new pair of white gloves.

The royal writer added that Queen Elizabeth thought it was funny “because things like that don't happen,” and said of royal life, “Everything is perfect. Everything happens the way it should.”

But “sometimes things go wrong, and that's what they find most interesting when things go wrong,” Burrell noted. His sentiment echoes what Samantha Cohen, who worked for Queen Elizabeth for 18 years, recently told Australia's Herald Sun (via Vanity Fair magazine) about the late Queen Elizabeth's love of blunders.

“She was very at ease with herself, but she liked things to go wrong. When the cake wasn't cut or the plaque wasn't unveiled, everything was organized perfectly, so things going wrong was the spice of her life,” Cohen told the outlet.

Burrell told Marie Claire magazine that “the queen had a wonderful sense of humor,” adding, “She loved to laugh and she loved practical jokes.” Reflecting on the story of the young Princess Elizabeth throwing an inkwell over the head of a French teacher, we have to agree.

However, Burrell said he is not a fan of Queen Elizabeth as portrayed in “The Crown” and remembers a more nimble monarch.

“Peter Morgan wrote a very serious, very dour, very brooding queen. He didn't give the public a true sense of the queen,” he said. 'I felt sorry for Imelda Staunton. I mean, poor, poor, poor Imelda Staunton. ......” He says.
