THERE's only one thing better than meeting the Queen.
That's meeting the Queen when you aren't expecting to.
Australia's women's hockey team were beside themselves after a chance encounter with royalty.
Queen Elizabeth is not known for making unscheduled stop-offs on the way to appointments but she noticed the Hockeyroos side warming down on the second pitch at the Glasgow Hockey Stadium after their 4-0 defeat of Malaysia.
And they certainly noticed her.
Within seconds several of the players whipped out their phones and took selfies of themselves in the foreground as the Queen walked past in the background.
Jayde Taylor was especially proud of her shot which will no doubt find a place on the wall of her home in Perth.
"We were warming down on the second pitch after our game and the Queen came out to meet Donny (team captain Madonna Blyth)," Taylor said afterwards.
"The security guard led us all round and we got to meet her.
"She asked us a bit about the pitch, how we were going and told us to enjoy our time here. She was lovely, really, really lovely."
And as she explained, the photo wasn't a complete accident.
"Brooke [Peris] and I planned it so that when she came out the door she would be behind us. And then she came out and smiled at the camera. We were in the right spot at the right time."
It must rate as the quirkiest shot of the Queen at a Commonwealth Games since she was photographed in Brisbane in 1982 holding a program which had a XXXX beer advertisement on the back of it.
It looked in the award-winning photo as if she was carrying the beer.
The Queen, who had opened the Games at the Opening Ceremony the previous night, was scheduled to attend the Wales-England match which followed Australia's game.
She came over and chatted to several of the Hockeyroos who were elated at their surprise encounter.
