The Queen Was Nearly Shot By Her Guardsman After She Went For 3am Stroll

Queen Elizabeth clearly gives zero fucks as she once nearly got shot by one of her own guardsmen during a 3am stroll.

Apparently the Her Majesty loves her night recreationals, often walking around the palace gardens in the wee hours. Meanwhile, for the rest of us that isn't an option unless we want cheesy chips launched at our heads.

Anyway, apparently the guardsman said: "Bloody hell, Your Majesty. I nearly shot you", to which she replied: "That's quite all right.

"Next time I'll ring through beforehand so you don't have to shoot me."

The Times shared the incident which reportedly took place a few years ago.

As she's now 90 years old, the chances are that she won't be caught walking around the gardens at 3am.
