Susanna said: “You can obviously get overwhelmed with nerves, but actually Her Majesty was not somebody who minded if you didn’t stick to protocol.”
Penny then revealed how Her Majesty “liked it when something went wrong”.
She said: “Absolutely, she always liked it when something went wrong – any opportunity to have a laugh.
“She really had a great sense of humour.”
Penny is now gearing up to work on the day of the Queen’s funeral as a special constable for the City of London Police.

The former Loose Women star and Strictly Come Dancing contestant joined the City of London Police after appearing on Channel 4’s Famous and Fighting Crime in 2020.
In April 2021, she completed her training and is now fully qualified.
Speaking about her job and having worked at royal events and occasions before, Penny revealed on GMB that working at the Queen’s memorial service at St Paul’s Cathedral “was a great privilege”.
She added: “I signed the oath of Office of Constable to Her Majesty the Queen just over a year ago, April last year, and just as the seamless tie between Her Majesty and King Charles III, my oath will now be with the King.”

“It’s always an honour and a pleasure and they’re just a family like all other families, but they have this huge responsibility to be the head of state and to do the work that they do for the country of the commonwealth,” she added.
This comes as the nation mourns the death of Her Majesty, who sadly passed away on Thursday, September 8 aged 96.
