What was the Beeb doing employing a commenator so pig-ignorant as to announce the arrival of "Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II"? That really was what he said. I hope they confiscate his mic and place it elsewhere.

In case any foreigners reading this may be puzzled {all true Brits will have got the point already, apart maybe from such as Fatgob*}, the Queen is not a Royal Highness, but, above all those, is Her Majesty: now that her mother is dead, the only person in the nation at present entitled to be so-called.
