Queen 'spotted' at Glastonbury as brilliant moment goes viral on social media

Glastonbury Queen Elizabeth II

A Glastonbury festival-goer has been given the title of having a striking resemblance to a VIP member of the UK - Her Majesty the Queen.

The music fan, who is a direct lookalike of the reigning Monarch, was spotted hiding in the crowd in a blue coat at the world-renowned festival, reports the Mirror. The unidentified person even looked like she was in disguise, sporting a hooded persona and sunglasses to avoid any unwanted attention - or sun glare.

A picture of the Royal Family lookalike has since went viral on social media after being shared across the internet, creating some hilarious moments and making viewers double-take at the image. One Twitter user said: "The Queen has turned up at Glastonbury to watch Robert Plant. That disguise is fooling nobody."

Another added to this tweet, saying: "FFS lol God save the Queen." A third wrote: "That’s so funny!"

A further tweet read: "That was funny! Well, The Queen likes Paul McCartney so why not?" But other fans were convinced the music fan was a doppelganger for another member of the prestigious household - Princess Anne.

One Twitter user said: "It really looks like princess Anne!!" Another agreed, writing: "I was just about to say that, it really does!"

Meanwhile, the Queen was spending her weekend elsewhere as she marked a return to the saddle after a break was forced upon her due to ill health. The 96-year-old Monarch returned to horse-riding recently, after mobility problems had forced her off the saddle for months.
