Queen Elizabeth?s ’secret trip’ to London theatre

26 October 2009

London: The British Queen stunned a London theatre audience as she slipped in to see a performance unannounced along with her husband Prince Philip, a news report said today.
The British monarch, minus an entourage, "apologetically" squeezed into her seat, followed by Prince Philip, for War Horse at the New London Theatre as the lights dimmed for curtain-up.


The Queen and her husband often make incognito trips to the West End but are rarely spotted.


"The Queen has regularly undertaken similar private visits throughout her reign without any fuss. It allows her to live a bit more of a normal life. Most of her staff are not told in advance if she is planning an evening out. She is keen on the theatre," one aide was quoted as saying by the Evening Standard newspaper today.


The Queen did not want to the award-winning First World War drama, he said.
