United by a love for nature

The Queen and Sir David Attenborough, both aged 91, are pictured strolling through the gardens of Buckingham Palace as they met up for a documentary, The Queen’s Green Planet, celebrating a Commonwealth environmental project.

During the programme, to be screened next Monday, the Queen jokingly attributes a loud aircraft to the US president or possibly his predecessor saying: “Sounds like President Trump, or President Obama.”

Sir David and the Queen have known each other for a long time, with the broadcaster producing the Queen’s televised Christmas Day address for more than five years in the 1980s and 1990s.
