Over the course of her life, Queen Elizabeth II met many people and greeted them with her questions. For Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse and Raptors fans, the Queen’s question was not something that Nurse expected. 

As a response to a reporter’s question about his meeting with the Queen during a press conference, he shared his experience with him. This was back when Nurse managed Great Britain’s Olympic team at the 2012 London Olympics.

Recalling what happened, he explained to the reporter: “I just remember somebody opened up the door and said, ‘Hey, anybody wants to meet the Queen? Come down now!'”
