Charlotte Dawson reminisces on the time met the Queen

Reality TV star Charlotte Dawson took to Instagram on Friday to pay tribute to the Queen with an old photograph of when she met Her Majesty in 2002 in Preston. 

Charlotte, 29, who is the daughter of comedian Les Dawson, posted a sweet throwback picture of herself that showed her as a young girl holding flowers. 

The image featured a caption at the bottom that said ‘Presentation of flowers to Her Majesty II by Miss Charlotte Dawson on the occasion of Her Majesty’s Jubilee to the city of Preston on 5th August 2002.’

The news broke across the world just after 6:30 pm on Thursday evening that the monarch had passed away aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. 

 

And since Her Majesty’s death, thousands of tributes have been made and Charlotte was among one of them. 

She captioned the sweet post on Instagram ‘I have the proper picture in storage with all my dad’s memorabilia I need to dig it out as I need to frame it & tell Noah how wonderful her majesty Our Queen Elizabeth II was.’ 

‘I feel so honoured & proud that I was able to give her flowers I was so nervous and my mum tried to make me take my braid out my hair but I said no I think the queen will like it.’ 

‘She was so lovely made me feel instantly calm… this is such a great loss to our country really won’t be the same.’

The mum-of-one started off her trip down memory lane by initially sharing a black and white image of her late father Les to her Instagram story. 

Where the comedian could be seen shaking the hand of Britain’s longest-serving monarch prior to his death in 1993. 

Charlotte, who was less than one year old when her father passed away captioned the image with ‘This picture is just amazing of my dad and Her Majesty The Queen.’ 

And continued with ‘I’m sure he’ll be making you giggle up there.’ 

According to The Mirror, Charlotte also revealed that she demanded a reward from her mother for meeting the monarch. 

The TV star remembered that she said to her mother ‘If you’re going to make me do this, I want a phone.’ 

‘Because all my friends were getting these big fancy brick phones with the big wire coming out.’

And continued on the funny story with ‘so she got me a phone so I would meet the Queen. I’ve still got that picture, it’s hilarious. You can see the coloured braid from Marbella!’
