Britain's Queen Elizabeth snubbed BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw.
The 88-year-old monarch met the 'Radio 1 Breakfast Show' host, known as 'Grimmy', while opening the BBC's new Broadcasting House in London's West End last year, but he claims she ignored him when he broke protocol by speaking to her before he'd been acknowledged.
Nick said: "The Queen did not like me. I was told, 'Don't speak to her unless she speaks to you.'
"But I was also told she would speak to me, and she didn't. It went on like this for a while, so I went, 'You all right? You having a nice day?'
"She just pulled a face at me.
"It was basically just me staring at the Queen after that."
However, the 29-year-old radio presenter admits that the Queen of England isn't the only person who has taken a dislike to him during his career, as he claims he also received a cold reception from 'Maleficent' actress Angeline Jolie.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "She was very cold.
"I went to interview her and she was looking at me as if to say, 'And what are you doing here asking questions?'"

Pippa Middleton is reportedly house hunting with her boyfriend.
The 30-year-old socialite and columnist - who is the younger sister of Britain's Duchess of Cambridge - has sparked rumours she's got engaged to her boyfriend of 18 months, Nico Jackson, after the pair were seen looking at homes in south London, according to the MailOnline.
Pippa and her stockbroker beau, 35, were spotted looking at a number of properties in the Battersea Park area, where the couple have been seen out jogging together in the past, including a £2.5 million four-bedroom terrace house and a £1.95 million three-bedroom flat.
If the duo do decide to invest in a property in the area they may find themselves mingling with their celebrity neighbours, who would include former Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof, Duran Duran star Simon Le Bon and his former supermodel wife Yasmin Le Bon.
Meanwhile, Pippa has been working on her cooking skills, perhaps in anticipation of setting up home with Nico - who is reportedly keen to start a family soon.
The party planner recently took part in a culinary crash-course during a visit to the luxury Leela Palace hotel in Udaipur, western India, where she learnt to cook a variety of dishes including laal maas, a hot lamb curry, flatbreads and saffron rice.

Paul Weller thrilled fans with a surprise encore of 'In The City' at his London show on Wednesday night (21.05.14).
The rocker performed at Dingwalls in Camden and after sending fans wild with a rendition of 'The Changingman' he left the stage, but as people started filing out of the intimate venue he rushed back on stage with his band to play the track, which was his former group The Jam's debut single.
Weller has performed three small shows across the UK capital this week to promote his upcoming greatest hits album 'More Modern Classsics', which features the highlights of the last 15 years of his solo career.
The 55-year-old musician's set was heavily comprised of songs from the LP, including 'Come On Let's Go', 'Wake Up The Nation' and 'The Attic' - from his most recent studio release, 2012's 'Sonik Kicks'.
Weller - backed by his usual band, including Ocean Colour Scene guitarist Steve Craddock - didn't speak much to the crowd other thanking them for their applause between songs, preferring to power through his 90-minute show instead.
Weller did also play older solo hits and got a big cheer when he introduced 'Above The Clouds', taken from his self-titled 1992 debut solo album.
Speaking about 'More Modern Classics' - which is released on June 2 - Weller said: "This is just another few chapters of my life's work, a journey which I would hope you would come with me on ... The music on this compilation is over 15 years but for me it feels like it could be five or six years. I'm rushing through, like, I can't slow it down. I'll cling on tight and see where it ends up."

Sharon Osbourne says "there is no more talent" to find on 'The X Factor'.
The 61-year-old music manager quit her judging role on the singing competition after guiding Sam Bailey to victory last year, and she claims talent shows have become an oversaturated market, leaving little undiscovered talent out there.
Sharon told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I feel it has been overfished. There is no more talent out there. Any serious musician is not going to go on a show."
The outspoken star previously insisted her reality TV judging days were behind her after serving on the panel of 'The X Factor' for five years - including four series from 2004 to 2007 and again last year - and 'America's Got Talent'.
Sharon blasted the number of sob stories seen on "contrived", "boring" reality shows.
She said: "If one more person stands up in front of me and sings ... I've had it with people singing at me. I have had it with people singing on TV.
"And they've all got something wrong - they have either got one lung, one kidney, or they've all got somebody sick in the hospital."
