The Queen with a photo bomb: Eight years ago, two Australian national hockey players took a selfie when Elizabeth II suddenly appeared. You take a wonderful snapshot.
This selfie will be hard to beat. When two Australian national hockey players took a picture of themselves at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, an elderly lady joined them in the background: Queen Elizabeth II. She seemed to be having a great time.
The picture was taken eight years ago in July. Jayde Taylor and Brookie Peris of Australia’s field hockey team snapped a commemorative photo as the Queen appeared after the 4-0 win over Malaysia. The monarch looks extremely friendly. Taylor proudly posted the photo on Instagram and Twitter – it went viral.
The selfie caused good emotions in the team, the former defender recently told The West Australian newspaper, which later won the gold medal with her team. “I love the photo,” says Taylor. “She just smiled and nodded… What an incredible woman.”
