The Queen “photobombed” the news on Friday in one of the more surreal moments in live broadcasting history as she officially opened the BBC‘s revamped Broadcasting House in central London.
As BBC News presenters Julian Worricker and Sophie Long addressed viewers from their glass-windowed studio, the Queen, who was being given a studio tour, loomed into view behind them, peering intently from the newsroom.
The two turned to see the diminutive Queen, resplendent in turquoise coat and hat, linger for several long seconds as BBC journalists crowded behind her raised a resounding cheer.
The queen photobombs the BBC. BBC.
