The Internet Is Losing It Over Viral Clip Of Queen Elizabeth Snapping At Photographer Annie Leibovitz For Asking Her To Take Her Crown Off: ‘I’ve Done Enough!’

The late Prince Philip is known for his unfiltered, off-the-cuff, and often controversial remarks – a stark contrast to the always composed and graceful late Queen Elizabeth II, who dedicated her life to duty.
But this view of the late monarch makes a resurfaced clip of her seemingly losing patience with a photographer even more shocking! Keep reading to find out more…
A resurfaced video of a behind-the-scenes moment between famed photographer Annie Leibovitz and the late Queen is once again making the rounds online. And it’s because the Queen was *so* unimpressed with the photographer’s seemingly bizarre request to modify her outfit!
Leibovitz has shot everyone from Angelina Jolie to Sofía Vergara, and is known for pushing creative boundaries. (Who can forget those bathtub pictures?!) And when she asked the Queen – the actual Queen of England who is possibly the only person who we can expect to wear a crown – to take hers off for a “less dressy look,” it’s safe to say she wasn’t on board with the request!
Leibovitz can be heard saying Her Majesty might look “better without the crown” for a “less dressy” look, prompting the Queen to point to her elaborate robe and retort: “Less dressy? What do you think this is?”
The late Queen then decided that she had enough of the conversation and the shoot as a whole. While walking away, she said: “I’m not changing anything, I’ve done enough dressing like this. Thank you very much.” Brilliant!
