Queen Elizabeth played a game of 'Pointless' with Alexander Armstrong when they met.

The 51-year-old TV presenter - who has hosted the BBC quiz show since 2009 - has told how he was giving a talk at the Sandringham branch of the Women's Institute (WI), where the queen is one of the locals, and the 95-year-old monarch was "brilliant" at playing 'Pointless' and "got right into it".
He said: "I went to speak at the Sandringham WI. It was literally me and a room full of 36 ladies of Sandringham, including one, who we would all have recognised.
"It was just the most wonderful thing to be asked to do. Totally surreal as you can imagine.
"We did a higher, lower 'Pointless'. This is our mobile version of 'Pointless'.
"We haven’t got all the kit. You basically say, 'On Abba’s greatest hits, how many people do you think would have said 'Dancing Queen'?' And one team says, 'Oh 14,' and the others go higher or lower than that.
"We played it in the village hall. She was sitting right in front of me, closer than you are to me. She was brilliant. She was so game. She got right into it. She was totally lovely.
"It was the most enchanting … can you imagine, it was like one of those dreams where you wake up."
Alexander - who co-hosts the programme with Richard Osman - believes Elizabeth must be an avid watcher of the show, because she was so good at the game.
When it was suggested she must watch the programme if she was able to play the game, Alexander said on 'Good Morning Britain': "Oh yeah, I believe she does."
