The schoolgirl gave a gift to the queen in support of the hours greeting
Queen Elizabeth II has been the head of state of Britain for 17 years and during this time, she has attended many private and public royal events.
One gesture she is always expected to make is a lively and welcoming wave of the hand she meets. During hours of being with the crowd, the Queen never loses patience to constantly display her royal wave.
Feeling tempted, a student decided to give the emperor a fake hand in exchange for the time he was tired. The incident was narrated by the Queen's daughter Princess Anne in 1980.
Speaking on Parkinson's, Anne shared that the gift was extended during the 95-year-old Royal Tour of Australia in 1970.
She said: "There were still one or two noisy students in those days - the late sixties, you know. It was a little noisy group upon arrival, and we wondered what they were doing.
"And the three of them pushed it out of the crowd with this hand and it was a kind of stuffed glove, for lack of a better expression, with an addition. And all three of them presented it to the queen, I think. They were actually rather daring and rather cheeky.
"And the queen took it from him and said 'Thank you very much, this is what I always wanted!' And their faces literally fell because it wasn't the reaction they expected!"
Asked where the hand is now, the Princess Royal shared: "We've never seen it again. So if they're looking maybe they'll make us another one."
