This could be our favourite ever move by Her Majesty
The guy who earned the title of Queen Elizabeth's Least Favourite Buckingham Palace Guest Ever? Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, who visited London for four days with his wife Elena in 1978.
'The press started to question the foreign secretary,' Robert Hardman explained in the new documentary.
'On the occasion when they were staying she took the corgis out for a walk in the palace gardens and she could see the Ceaușescus coming the other way,' Hardman explained. 'She thought,"I really can't face talking to them," so the first and only time in her life, she actually hid in a bush in the palace gardens to avoid her guests.'
It's not clear if Ceaușescu or his wife caught the Queen's blatant smalltalk dodge, but it's officially on the list of the most badass things she's ever done in our book.
