Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume has recounted the time she met Queen Elizabeth II when Her Majesty got here to Melbourne in 2011, saying she practiced her curtsey “nicely prematurely”.
“I used to be on the board of the Royal Kids’s Hospital at the moment, and we had been opening our brand-new constructing right here in Melbourne,” Ms Hume advised Sky Information Australia.
“The Queen got here to formally open the constructing, and she or he and Prince Philip had been fairly wonderful as they toured the constructing and so they met among the workers.
“The Queen was extraordinary that day, she was carrying vibrant pink, and her pores and skin … was so lovely, she had the pores and skin of a 30-year-old, she was simply mesmerising.”
