Worse, He Realized They Fit Him

During the 1992 fire at Windsor Castle in the U.K., there was a mad dash to save Queen Elizabeth’s personal property. It has now been revealed that a member of the Life Guards, the Queen’s “elite bodyguard” unit, tried to steal a pair of her panties in the confusion. “Yes, I admit it. I was planning to steal a pair of the Queen’s knickers,” says Captain Nick Carrell, who is no longer a member of the Guards. “I was helping to clear out her private apartment when I pulled open a chest of drawers. I was amazed to see it was filled with the Queen’s underwear and I put out my hand to take a pair. Suddenly I realized she was standing right behind me, watching my every move. I don’t know what she thought, but the Queen didn’t say a word. It was all very embarrassing.” (Reuters) ...She didn’t have to say anything. He knows there can be no knighthood for a knickers nicker.
