The Queen’s hilarious exchange with an Irish minister will have you in stiches
We all know Queen Elizabeth II has an incredible work ethic and is the patron of many causes, but one thing that sometimes gets lost is her delightfully dry sense of humour.
This very humour is on display in the above clip.
In a meeting with Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, Her Majesty couldn’t resist the opportunity to throw in a couple of funny lines.
The Queen’s trademark dry humour was on display in this video, where she quips to a North Irish minister that she’s been quite busy but is “still alive”.
The pair had a 20 minute talk with the Queen Elizabeth II noting that she had been "quite busy," adding "there's been quite a lot going on."
She also jokingly adds as an aside, “I've had two birthdays, so we've been quite busy.”
Her Majesty met the minister at the Hillsborough Castle in Belfast as part of a jam-packed two-day royal visit to the province.
To see the full exchange watch the video above.
Isn’t it refreshing to see Her Majesty has such a good sense of humour, and is not afraid to poke fun at herself? Share your thoughts in the comments.
