I once had lunch with The Queen (OK, along with about 100 other people in a large room). There’s an etiquette that people should stop eating when The Queen stops. She is known to take care that she keeps the food going round on her plate until everyone’s had a proper opportunity to eat. After lunch, she made a point to meet up with and thank all of the waiting staff and those who had cooked the lunch. So, from that experience, she does seem mindful of others and appreciative of those who work hard at such events.

我曾经和女王一起用过餐（好吧，其实是和100人左右在一个大房间里一起用餐）。有一条规矩就是女王停下的时候所有人都得停下。众所周知女王很照顾别人，菜会在桌上转一圈确保大家都能吃到。吃完午饭她提出要见见并感谢所有服务人员和后厨人员。所以从这次经历中就能看出她心里惦记着别人，还会对在这种场合辛苦工作的人表达感激。

I live not far from Balmoral Castle, which is the Queen’s private residence in the Scottish Highlands.

我住的地方离巴尔莫拉城堡不远，那里是女王在苏格兰高地的私人府邸。

What we find is that the Queen is a courteous, hard working “wee wifie” who is a good neighbour and treats others with decency. She uses local suppliers, she always supports the Braemar Highland Gathering, attends the local “Kirk” (Church of Scotland), and she lets young people go for “Duke of Edinburgh” expeditions on the estate. That makes her part of the local community, which is quite protective of her and respects her privacy.
