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！”
