Few Things You Might Not Know About Queen Elizabeth II
- She wore braces on her teeth
Her Majesty, The Queen Elizabeth II reveals the secret to her famous smile. She shares that once upon a time she wore braces on her teeth. She paid a visit to the new Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals on Wednesday 19th February 2020 where she chatted with some children being fitted for braces.
- She Didn’t Have A Passport
I learnt that when you’re the Queen of England, things like passports don’t matter. The reason is all British passports are issued in the name of Her Majesty, so according to the British Monarchy “it is unnecessary for The Queen to possess one.” Elizabeth was also exempt from having a driver’s license
- The Queen Had Been Driving For 70 Years!
Queen Elizabeth II learned to drive in 1945, and was often seen driving her royal Range Rover around England!
- She Drove A Truck During the War
During World War II the Queen wasn’t driving a posh Range Rover, she was sitting behind the wheel of a truck! Fact: Elizabeth donned a pair of coveralls and trained in London as a mechanic and military truck driver.
- Elizabeth II The Only Female Royal to Join the Army
Queen Elizabeth II may have looked frail in her later years but she was very mobile back in the day when she joined the army, landing her the title of being the only female member of the royal family to have entered the armed forces.
- Her Guilty Pleasure Was ‘Downton Abbey’
It may not come as a surprise that the Queen of England loved one of the country’s most successful TV shows. The Queen watched the show so closely that she was able to find faults in some of the episodes. According to a source, “The Queen did notice on one episode that there was a young so-called British officer wearing medals which had not been awarded when he was supposed to be alive.”
- Elizabeth Celebrated Two Birthdays
Although Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday is April 21, she also celebrated her birthday day in June where she was joined by the whole Royal Family.
Gistflash Media gathered that the commission disowned her in a press statement describing it as a figment of her imagination.
According to the commission, the ace actress who doubles as the founder of Tonto Dikeh Foundation on 25th February, 2021 paid a visit to the Executive Secretary, Rev Yakubu Pam to express willingness in partnering with the Commission in the area of peace building.
But contrary to the reason for her courtesy visit and clear misrepresentation of what transpired, the commission was inundated with the viral ambassadorial claims as posted by the actress on social media.
The commission frowned at but still appreciated her desire to partner with the peace building initiatives and in the area of pilgrimage sponsorship to the Holy Land.
Read the full statement below;
PRESS STATEMENT:
“The Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission NCPC wishes to state in categorical terms that King Tonto Dikeh paid an official courtesy visit to the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission Rev Yakubu Pam on 25th February, 2021 at the corporate headquarters of the Commission in Abuja.
As the founder of Tonto Dikeh Foundation, she expressed her willingness and interest in partnering with the Commission in the area of peace building.
She equally cashed in on the visit to commend the NCPC boss for his positive and relentless peace initiatives across the country.
However, we are suddenly inundated with claims from King Tonto Dikeh herself that she has been officially appointed as Ambassador of peace by this great Commission. This claim has gone virile in the media.
The Commission frowns at this claim which is a clear misrepresentation of what transpired.
The fact remains that the Executive Secretary of NCPC never appointed King Tonto Dikeh an Ambassador of Peace for NCPC and this was not part of her visit therefore this claim by her is spurious, unfounded and should be discarded and seen by all Nigerians as a figment of her imagination.
Nevertheless, we appreciate her desire to partner with us in our peace building initiatives and in the area of pilgrimage sponsorship to the Holy Land .
