How does the Queen answer the phone?

That seems a little stiff. I’d bet that when she’s relaxed, just hanging out, she answers with …“mmyallo?”

Somehow, one of the things I simply cannot imagine is Queen Elizabeth “just hanging out.” Maybe back in the days when she was simply Lilybet! :stuck_out_tongue:

Here’s one example.

(much giggling at the idea of her making an “STD call”)

I quote that very call in the Staff Report.

“I now declare this conversation … open.”

(Scissors snip sound optional.)

OK, I feel comfortable posting this here as not too many people will see it. :wink:

Judging by that clip, Her Maj was pretty good-looking back in the day, particularly when she did that shy smile thing.
