Prince Harry's unusual reaction if he bumped into his late grandmother the Queen
Prince Harry admitted he had a surprising reaction whenever he bumped into his grandmother, the Queen, during visits to Buckingham Palace.
Royal fans often wonder what it would be like to have run of the landmark London residence - but how would you feel if you had run into the late monarch in the corridors of the palace? Much like Harry, it seems.
In a clip from a 2018 documentary about the Queen's role as head of the commonwealth, Harry joked about feeling a sense of "panic" whenever he bumped into his grandmother in the hallways of Buckingham Palace.
In the HBO documentary, Queen of the World, Harry is seen addressing a group of hospitality professionals from the Caribbean, who were staying at the palace at the time.
He said: "You guys have spent way more time in Buckingham Palace than I ever have - and you've only been here two weeks.

"Have you bumped into the Queen yet? If you suddenly bump into her in the corridor, don't panic. I know you will. We all do!"
Harry's reaction is likely down to the fact that he viewed the Queen as the monarch, rather than just his grandmother. In an interview to mark his grandmother's landmark 90th birthday in 2016, he admitted that the Queen is very much in charge, saying "I always view her as my boss".

"You have this huge amount of respect for your boss and I always view her as my boss – but occasionally as a grandmother," he concluded.
Harry also spoke about the pressure he felt whenever he represented his grandmother in an official capacity. "When you go on official tours to the Bahamas, Belize and all those places… my first proper tour representing her, I was bricking myself. I was incredibly nervous, I was wondering, will people be disappointed it's me and not her, will I get it all right, will I make any mistakes?" he admitted.
"There is a huge amount of pressure and huge weight on our shoulders, but she's led the way. I think she's more than happy to let you crack on. If you get it wrong then she'll tell you, and likewise if we get it wrong we'll go up and apologise."
