Nitro, whose real name is Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, said he met the late Queen Elizabeth II “as Harry” at Buckingham Palace, adding: “Last time I was dressed well and to be fair I did come dressed correctly, and once they told me that they wanted me in my outfit, I thought ‘my oh gosh, I must have set history as surely I must be like the least-dressed man in this room’.”.
The Queen met children including Camilla Birkett, seven, from Reading, who said she spoke to the Queen about their names and how both of their dogs had recently died and they had both got new dogs.
Claire Birkett, Camilla’s mother, said her daughter’s conversation with the Queen was “really lovely”, adding: “She told us that she totally understood how you would feel, and that her dog died too, and that she’d got a new puppy.”.
He added: “It’s so encouraging and exciting that kids still write stories, still enjoy stories and, you know, every year we get the package of the final 50 stories and you think, what are we going to get this year?”.
Asked if he was positive about it, he said: “I think so, you know, as a Bond fan, you think, well, you know, let’s get some more Bond stuff like that.”.
