The queen of England is known for her strict sense of decorum, so it's perfectly reasonable that her grandsons weren't aware that she was actually quite the daredevil.

"Both of us were slightly surprised with our grandmother's secret hobby that she had of parachuting, which went down unbelievably well," Prince Harry jested to BBC News about Queen Elizabeth II's scene-stealing appearance alongside the reigning James Bond, Daniel Craig, at the Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony last week.

The skydiving duties were, of course, left to a stuntman who had to be sure to look as prim as possible while jumping out of a helicopter, but we could listen to Harry and his big brother crack wise till the corgis come home.
