Amy Huberman reveals on Late Late moment that Queen Elizabeth poked fun at Brian O'Driscoll's nose

This week's Late Late Show was led by to Queen Elizabeth following her death on Thursday.

Among tonight's guests was Amy Huberman, who spoke to Ryan about the death of her father, Harold, earlier this year and also promoted the release of her new children's book 'Got Trapped In My Brain'. Amy also revealed a hilarious story about how the Queen and Prince Phillip once made fun of her husband's, Brian O'Driscoll's, nose.

Amy said she met the Queen twice, once in Dublin and also when a reciprocal dinner was held at Windsor. She described the Queen as "formidable" and said she had "so much dignity and humility".

Amy said that both Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip compared her husband's nose to Mike Tindall's, who is married to the Queen's granddaughter Zara. "On a personal level I only spoke to her very fleetingly," Amy told Ryan.

"She had a genuine warmth and a sense of humour. We had a really funny exchange where Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip had asked Brian how broken his nose had gotten and how Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter who is married to Mike Tindall, and discussing whose nose is worse and asking did he have a snoring problem because of it."

President Michael D Higgins also and opened up on the time he spent with the Queen during his visit to Britain in 2014. Other guests included George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Russell Crowe.
