A group of Americans were on a trip to Balmoral Estate in Scotland when they came upon a little old lady, walking the grounds in an overcoat and a headscarf. “Do you live around here?” they asked her. She responded by telling them that she lives in a house nearby. The American tourists went on their merry way, not once realizing that the woman they had just spoken to was the Queen of England. Apparently, this happens more than you might think. When she’s out of the context of Buckingham Palace, and dressed in more modest attire, people tend to overlook Queen Elizabeth — especially tourists. And, since she’s always in the spotlight, she has no problem staying undercover.
