Boyzone star Ronan Keating said that he was told off by the Queen’s guards after trying to get a selfie with her.
Ronan explained that it was a sticky situation for him, which occurred when he went to Ascot Paddocks Livery.
He said: “I’ve been lucky enough to go there. I was actually in the paddock when the Queen was there.”
Ronan wasn’t aware that it was frowned upon to try to take a picture with the Queen.
“I tried to take a selfie but they grabbed my phone off me. I didn’t you couldn’t take a selfie with the Queen, who knows?”
Ronan revealed this cringe-worthy memory as part of his collaboration with Omaze, a company that runs prize draws to fundraise for charity.
Ronan is currently working with them to promote a Million Pound House Draw in Ascot to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
The platform have offered a £3.5 million house in Ascot to support the charity.
He recalled another awkward moment, saying: “I was doing this photoshoot with this very famous photographer. I walked into the room… and I was trying to be quite cool with this photographer.”
The photographer asked Ronan what he though of the room and where he thought would make a good place for photos, and Ronan said: “Yeah, maybe a photo on the mangetout over there and he said, ‘I think you mean the chaise longue?’ and I thought, ‘Oh god this couldn’t be any worse.'”
Ronan rose to fame in the boyband Boyzone, beating out 600 hopefuls to a place in the group.
He previously said: “When I was in Boyzone, I mean it was auditions, there was 600 lads there and they picked me, I guess I won the lottery right there.”
Boyzone was created by X-Factor alum Louis Walsh and originally featured six members before Mark Walton and Richie Rock left the band.
Ronan revealed that Boyzone has a WhatsApp group to keep in touch with each other but dashed any hopes of a reunion for the boyband.
He is however working on solo material that he plans to release in November of this year.
