Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, a video of her joking about her death has gone viral.
The late monarch showed off her sense of humor while chatting with Sir David Attenborough for the ITV documentary, The Queen’s Green Planet.
As the pair discussed how climate change will affect trees over the next 50 years, the queen cheekily responded: “I won’t be here, though.”

The sundial was in the shade on the property.
The queen looked around and wondered if we had thought of that. I’m sure it wasn’t in the shade initially.
The royal said “Maybe we could move it”
Queen Elizabeth passed away on Thursday, September 8, at the age of 96. Buckingham Palace issued a statement after her death.
The message said that the Queen had died peacefully. The King and the Queen will return to London tomorrow.
On the following day, he talked about his relationship with the queen, saying she was an expert at getting people to relax.
“When you met her, you were aware that you were in the presence of someone who was important to our society, and yet she made it seem that you were meeting another human being with the same conditions that all human beings have,” he said.
Queen Elizabeth and Attenborough have had a friendship for a long time. They were both born weeks apart. The queen was born on April 21st, 1926, while the man was born on May 8th.
In 1985, the author was knighted by the monarch and in 2022, he was knighted again by Prince Charles, now King Charles III.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Blue Planet narrator produced the queen’s annual Christmas address to the U.K., and he picked out what she would wear for the broadcast.
At the Radio Times Festival in 2015, Attenborough said that he was asked by the royal’s assistant press secretary, Bill Heseltine, to choose an appropriate outfit for the queen.
The queen came out of the old lift and said, “I hope you approve of my costume,'” after she picked out something that was mushroom-colored.
She didn’t like the choice. Queen Elizabeth’s annoyance with the look, which clashed with the wallpaper, was detailed in David Attenborough’s memoir.
She reportedly said there is no pleasing the media. I am told by a lot that I have to wear a colorful outfit in order to be seen in a crowd, and then you tell me I have to wear something pale and nondescript.
In the year of the queen’s 90th birthday, she awarded him and the Blue Planet team with the Chatham House prize.
The person, persons or organization deemed to have made the most significant contribution to the improvement of international relations in the previous year is honored.
Charles was made King of the United Kingdom following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth. He was proclaimed the new monarch in a ceremony on September 10.
