The Queen was once found strolling palace gardens at 3am by a guardsman, who told her: “Bloody hell, Your Majesty. I nearly shot you”, it has been claimed.
英女王曾被一位近卫团官兵发现凌晨3点在王宫花园中散步。据称,这名卫兵还对女王说:“天哪,女王陛下!我差点就射杀您了。”

According to an account of the astonishing encounter, Her Majesty quipped in response: “That’s quite all right.”
一份记录这次惊人邂逅的报告指出,女王陛下当时调侃道:“没关系。”

“Next time I’ll ring through beforehand so you don’t have to shoot me.”
“下次我会先打个电话,这样你就不必射杀我了。”

The Queen is a fan of late night walks and, when she struggles to sleep, will walk around the palace grounds wearing a winter coat.
女王特别喜欢在深夜散步,在她睡不着的时候,她就会穿上一件冬衣,去王宫庭院中散步。

A guardsman apparently came across The Monarch in the small hours and asked her: “Who’s that?” before he realized it was the Head of State.
显然,一名卫兵在凌晨的时候偶遇女王,在他意识到这是女王之前,他还问过:“你是谁?”

Managing Editor of Majesty Magazine Joe Little said about the tale of The Queen and guardsman: “What a great story.”
王室杂志总编辑乔·利特尔在谈到女王和卫兵的故事时感慨道:“多棒的新闻题材啊!”
