Queen Elizabeth II was renowned for her wicked sense of humor, her ability to deliver sharp retorts, and her willingness to play pranks on just about anyone. As a result, it's entirely unsurprising that one former royal employee has claimed that the late Queen was the "smartest" member of the Royal Family. However, since Elizabeth's death on September 8, 2022, another royal relative may have taken the cleverness crown, a former royal butler has suggested.
"The smartest in my mind would have been Queen Elizabeth II, and the reason I say that is not just intelligence; she was witty, ruled a country for over 70 years, and knew about sports," former royal butler Grant Harrold told online learning platform Study Dog, via the Express. "Right behind her, I would say The King because he speaks several languages, but he is also very intelligent with numbers, and his command of the English language is extraordinary."
