Queen Elizabeth's Surprising Reaction To Receiving A Joint As A Gift

As a royal Queen Elizabeth has been on the receiving end of some interesting gifts. The interesting gifts aren't so much a shocker, though, as is her response to them. In a throwback interview with Princess Anne, she recalls one of these moments and the Queen's reaction, which occurred during their 1970 royal tour in Australia.

"There were still one or two noisy students about in those days – the end of the Sixties, you know," Anne explained of the students at the agricultural college they were visiting, per Express.

"And three of them pushed out of the crowd with this hand and it was a sort of stuffied glove, for want of a better expression, with a joint," she continued. "And these three presented it to the Queen, I think thinking that they were being really rather daring and rather cheeky."

"And the Queen took it from them and said 'Thank you very much, that is what I’ve always wanted!' And their faces literally dropped because it wasn’t quite the reaction they’d expected," Anne shared.

As for what happened to the (at the time) illegal substance, Queen Elizabeth's sister revealed that the item somehow got "lost" and insinuated that someone threw it out.

"Someone’s sense of humour perhaps didn’t stretch as far as ours," she said.

Although this took place decades ago, Queen Elizabeth hasn't lost her sense of humor over the years. The 93-year-old monarch subtly showed a bit of her cheekiness during the ITV documentary, "The Queen At 90."

As the cameras panned around one of the rooms at her Balmoral Castle, viewers caught a glimpse of the decor -- more specifically, a couch cushion that read, "It's good to be Queen."
