Royal family: The queen will only ever answer the phone to these 2 people
The Queen is one of the most famous people in the world, but also one of the hardest people to reach. There aren’t many people who can pick up a phone and call the Queen on a brisk Tuesday afternoon.
For the most part, the only interaction the public will have with Her Majesty is when she transacts and sees her firsthand or when she addresses the masses during her annual Queen’s Speech.
However, rumor has it that there are two people the Queen will be answering the phone for.

According to royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti, the Queen only takes calls from two people. The names are probably not the first you’d expect (well, maybe the first).
We’ll give you a hint, the first one is surprisingly not Prince Charles. Despite being the heir to the throne, Sacerdoti told royal commentator Christina Garibaldi that it was not Prince Charles. But she answers the phone to one of her children; his only daughter, Princess Anne.

The second caller the Queen will answer is her racing director John Warren.
She does this using her Samsung smartphone, which was specially provided to her by M16 and which has anti-hacking encryption. These two VIPs are the only people who are guaranteed to reach the Queen.
The royal expert explained: “Apparently the Queen has two people she talks to the most on her phones. She also apparently has a cell phone which is believed to be a Samsung that has anti-hacking encryption by MI6 so that no one can hack her phone.
“But the two people she phones the most would be her daughter, Princess Anne, and her race director, John Warren.”
