In 1976, during America’s bicentennial, Queen Elizabeth made a surprise stop in Rhode Island, where former Governor Phil Noel shared a car ride with her, cracked jokes that made her mascara run, and even lifted her up to wave to crowds. When she was scheduled to sit beside President Ford at a dinner aboard the HMS Britannia, she insisted on sitting next to Noel instead—calling him “delightful.” Overheard conversations about football and knee braces had the Queen playfully asking if a brace belonged to Noel, startling Henry Kissinger nearby. Noel marveled at her intelligence during foreign affairs chats and called the whole experience the “most spectacular” of his career, also fondly recalling Prince Philip’s sacrifice for the monarchy.
