Queen Elizabeth is not often seen hanging with the common folk, but she made an exception this week, riding the commuter train home to her 20,000 acre Sandringham estate.
Her ride was a little easier than the average citizens, with a security detail making sure she had a seat in a section all to herself. But not even the Queen could avoid those kids selling candy bars to raise money for their basketball team, who hit her up for a dollar to get a Snickers bar.
Her Majesty, Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, took the train to the English countryside Thursday, the same as a commoner. Her commuter-train trip caused something of a stir, being that it's not everyday you see the queen on the 10:45 am to King's Lynn..
