Queen Elizabeth passed away in 2022 but the world is still talking about the woman who was monarch for a great number of decades. The leader was a woman of many many talents, passions and personas. From her love for cars and horses, to her little entourage of corgi canines. Along the way, the Queen also became quite famous for her sharp sense of humour.

On the evening of Queen Elizabeth II's death, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz posted a fitting message. According to Yahoo!Life, he wrote:
She will be missed, not least her wonderful humour.
Queen Elizabeth II was widely known for her humour
Time and again, the Queen made headlines with amusing poses, photos in which she laughs heartily, and humorous comments. She was also never too proud to make jokes about herself. She apparently called herself Miss Piggy, an inside joke she had with her staff members and family. As per Today, she has also played pranks—not just on anyone, but on the then-crown prince of Saudi Arabia. She surprised him as his chauffeur while giving him a tour. And, no one can forget her cameo in James Bond and her sketch with Paddington.
Now while the public has been honoured with golden nuggets of laughter here and there, her public personal was definitely controlled. So, it is likely that we did not get the full picture of just how funny the Queen really was. Prince Harry once said one of the things he will miss the most is her 'cheeky sense of humour'.
However, since the Queen's death, never-heard-of details are still sporadically coming out from insiders.
The Queen's art of impersonation
As per Daily Mail, a source revealed that she had a knack for doing impersonations. Impersonations not just of anyone—but Donald Trump. While they didn't go into depth as to what the Queen would do per say, they also claimed she imitated Melania Trump.
Apparently this undisclosed source was once present when the Queen was asked to do an imitation of the now second-time FLOTUS. The royal would then put on a 'bored face and eventually mutter':
I want to be alone.
Indeed, Melania Trump is very well-known for her rather introverted nature as she tends to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible.
However, with such juicy details of the Queen's wit, one must always take it with a pinch of salt.
