Lady Moyra Campbell was the first person to disobey the newly crowned Queen. At the Coronation on June 2, 1953, the blue-blooded young woman noticed that one of her fellow maids of honour, Lady Anne Glenconner, was in danger of fainting.

“She [the Queen] never misses a trick and she saw Anne beginning to wobble and suggested to me with her hand to take her out, but I was fairly confident that Anne was OK and gently shook my head,” Lady Moyra told Sue MacGregor on BBC Radio 4’s The Reunion in 2013. “I’m lucky not to have been sent to the Tower of London for being the first person to have disobeyed the newly crowned monarch.”
