    In the 1950s, when out in London shopping on her own, in case she was knocked down by a bus and nobody would know who she was, she kept a small card in her handbag which read: ‘I am the Queen of Sweden.’ More recently, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark told me: ‘European royalty like coming to England because no one knows who we are. We can be anonymous. And then when people discover who we are, they are always very helpful, so we get the best of both worlds. Our bread is definitely buttered on both sides. That is an advantage to being a queen. People always behave very nicely towards me.’
