<\/p>\n
Lewis Hamilton was once given a ticking off from Queen Elizabeth II after he was invited to a Royal dinner with Her Majesty in 2010, two years after winning his maiden F1 World Championship.<\/p>\n
Friday marks the one-year anniversary of Her Majesty\u2019s passing. Britain\u2019s longest-reigning monarch passed away peacefully on September 8, 2022, at her Balmoral home with her immediate family by her side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During her time as head of state, she met with Hamilton on multiple occasions. Hamilton gave a glimpse into one of the more comical interactions between himself and Her Majesty during an appearance on the Graham Norton Show<\/em> back in 2015, explaining how he was told off for breaking protocol when speaking to The Queen.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cI turned up after the Brazilian Grand Prix and walked in and saw the seating plan and I was sitting right next to her. I was kind of excited, I was like this is cool.<\/p>\n Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> Damon Hill drops Lewis Hamilton hint that will get Max Verstappen’s attention[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n “I sat down and she was to my right and I started to talk to her, and she was like \u2018No, you speak that way first and I\u2019ll speak this way and then I\u2019ll come back to you.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cShe spoke to the guy next to her for like five minutes and then she spent the rest of the time talking to me. She is a sweet woman and we talked about how she spends her weekends, houses and music. She is really cool.”<\/p>\n The Briton was vocal in his love and appreciation for Queen Elizabeth over the years and posted a touching tribute to the beloved head of state after her passing in September 2022.<\/p>\n His statement read: \u201cHow do you find the words to describe the loss of Her Majesty The Queen? She was truly an iconic leader, an inspiration and a reassuring presence for most, if not all, of our lives.<\/p>\n More F1… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

She was a symbol of hope for so many and she served her country with dignity, dedication and kindness. She was truly like no other and I\u2019m grateful to have lived during her time. Her legacy will be long-lasting and her passing deeply felt.<\/p>\n \u201cI had the incredible honour of being able to spend time with her. It is something I\u2019ll never forget. We talked about our shared love of dogs and she was incredibly generous with her time.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI know the whole nation and many others around the world will be mourning her loss and my thoughts and prayers are with her family and all those close to her, who have lost a loved one. Rest in Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
