Queen's quick response after celebrity photographer told her to take crown off

The Queen had a surprising response after a celebrity photographer once asked her to take her tiara off during a photoshoot. Iconic American photographer Annie Leibovitz was invited to Buckingham Palace to take pictures of Her Majesty in 2007.

Annie was hired to shoot photographs of the Queen at Buckingham Palace along with her 11 assistants, the Mirror reports. She spent three weeks preparing and making sure everything was correct for the short 30-minute session - but she soon started to find herself on the wrong side of Her Majesty.

The Queen had arrived late to the photoshoot and, according to Annie, she was not in a particularly good mood. Her Majesty donned the full regalia of the ancient Order of the Garter, along with a tiara for the first portrait.
