Description:

Queen Elizabeth II was very well-known for her sharp sense of humour. Here, we compile more funny moments from the Queen's life, including Her Majesty cracking jokes and laughing.

Video Transcription

Speaker 4

Sounds like President Trump.

Speaker 2

President Obama.

She met millions of people during her reign, and as well as leaving them touched by her royal presence, she frequently raised a laugh along the way.

Beyond Paddington Bear and that infamous parachute jump, these are seven more times the Queen made us laugh.

Her Majesty may have been the most famous person in the world but one class of Australian three-year-olds was baffled by the strange lady who came to visit their classroom.

Here's how one news reporter saw the scene.

Speaker 1

What's your name, one girl asked the queen.

She didn't reply.

What's your name?

The queen seemed taken aback at this persistence, but Jake wasn't too sure who she was either, and Chloe was completely bewildered by the whole visit.

Speaker 2

Queen Elizabeth II was a huge animal lover throughout her life, a keen horse rider, owner of a number of corgis, but she was also fond of cows, as seen in this delightful clip from Her Majesty's 90th birthday celebration.

In 2018, the Queen gave David Attenborough a tour of her private gardens at Buckingham Palace.

And she let slip a hint that US presidents and their noisy forms of transportation aren't necessarily her cup of tea.

Speaker 4

Sounds like President Trump.

Speaker 1

President Obama.

Speaker 2

The Queen famously appeared to give her daughter, Princess Anne, a ticking off during President Trump's visit in 2019.

In fact, the Queen was actually searching for the next dignitary in the lineup, only to be met with a shrug from her daughter saying, it's only me.

In this charming footage from 1985, Her Majesty jokes around with six former prime ministers as they all try to fit in one photo during a visit to Margaret Thatcher's Downing Street.

The Queen made herself chuckle as she met members of the Canadian Armed Forces at Windsor in 2021.

It was the first time she'd been at her Berkshire home after her extended stay at Balmoral following the death of Prince Philip, and she made a cheeky joke about one officer's vast array of medals.

Speaker 4

You've been serving for some time?

Speaker 1

27 years.

Speaker 4

Looks like that.

27?

So this is something quite different.

Speaker 2

And finally, have a look at this cheeky Shetland pony called Cruaghan IV, who got a royal ticking off from the Queen when he tried to eat her posy of flowers.
