In a newly released book titled The Queen and Her Leaders, author Susan Page sheds light on lesser-known aspects of Queen Elizabeth II’s personality, revealing a sharp wit and a talent for mimicry that she occasionally used in private moments.
According to the book, the late monarch had a keen sense of humor and was particularly skilled at imitating others, sometimes employing this ability in lighthearted ways, even with prominent figures.
One anecdote shared in the book describes how the Queen playfully mocked former First Lady Melania Trump, likening her to the famously reclusive Swedish actress Greta Garbo. The Queen reportedly echoed Garbo’s iconic line from the 1932 film Grand Hotel, saying, “I want to be alone,” in a teasing tone during a private moment.
The book, published in April 2026, draws attention to the more personal and informal side of the Queen’s character, offering a glimpse into her interactions beyond formal duties.
