AS 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth faces her final days, her best kept secrets are being revealed — including the moment a brazen spaceman dared to put his hand on her thigh and her shock when a lusty nobleman hit on her!
Royal biographer Andrew Morton rips the lid off the queen’s well-hidden private life as Britain’s longest-ruling monarch celebrates her Platinum Jubilee, the 70th anniversary of her reign.
Elizabeth got a huge shock shortly after meeting the first man in space, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who visited London in 1961 during a world tour.
Following a gala reception, Gagarin was seated next to 35-year-old Elizabeth for a fancy breakfast. The extremely formal monarch didn’t miss a beat when the spaceman slipped his hand under the table and began stroking her thigh.
Keeping her cool and stiff attitude, Elizabeth sipped her coffee as if nothing was happening.
Later, the rude Russian confessed he’d touched her.
“Gagarin later explained that he’d touched her leg in order to make sure she was real and not just an animated doll,” says Morton.
But she’s had other man troubles.
