A phone call came in at the most inopportune time for British man.
As People reports, Queen Elizabeth II paid a surprise visit on Friday, July 15 to the Thames Hospice, where she and daughter Princess Anne greeted cancer patients and their families.
After the Queen shook hands with patient Pat White, she was then introduced to White’s husband.
As she shakes his hand, at that precise moment his phone beings ringing. Flustered, he fumbles in his pocket to pull out his phone and quickly end the call while the Queen looks on.
