According to Elton John’s new memoir, Queen Elizabeth isn’t afraid to remind people who’s in charge

There’s the whole having-your-face-on-currency thing, and being constantly surrounded by legions of security guards, of course, but even on a smaller, interpersonal level, you probably couldn’t help but whip it out.
In his memoir, Me, Sir Elton writes: “When he [Linley] repeatedly tried to fob her off, the Queen lightly slapped him across the face, saying ‘Don’t’ — slap — ‘argue’ — slap — ‘with’ — slap — ‘me’ — slap — ‘I’ — slap — ‘am’ — slap — ‘THE QUEEN!’” It is unclear when exactly this exchange took place — presumably when the Viscount, who is now 57, was a boy John writes that the queen caught him watching the scene, winked at him, and then walked away. “I know the Queen’s public image isn’t exactly one of wild frivolity, but … in private she could be hilarious,” he says.
In the memoir, John also writes about his close relationship with Princess Diana, detailing one dinner party he and his now-husband David Furnish hosted for her, Richard Gere, and Sylvester Stallone, shortly after Diana had separated from Prince Charles. According to the pop star, “Richard Gere and Diana seemed very taken with each other,” to the great dismay of Stallone, who John thought, “may have turned up to the party with the express intention of picking Diana up.
If only the queen had been there, she could have cleared things up by lightly slapping Stallone on the face and saying, “I. Am. The. Queen!” Actually that wouldn’t have cleared anything up, but it would have been pretty funny.
