You would think that being the literal Queen of England would guarantee you access to Windsor Castle, one of the main residences of, you know, the Queen of England. But you would be wrong. Even monarchs are vulnerable to awkward, fluky snafus.
On Thursday, Queen Elizabeth experienced just such a situation when she found herself locked out of her own castle. Don't you just hate it when that happens?
According to The Sun, the 93-year-old monarch was was driving a Range Rover onto the estate Thursday when she realized she was stuck outside the Nelson's Gate entrance, which just wouldn't open for her.

Luckily, Elizabeth was surrounded (as usual) by a bevy of protection officers at the time, and they sprang into action to help her—not that they were able to get in while the gate was locked. Security at Windsor Castle is predictably tight.
In the end, the Queen and her protection officers were forced to essentially circle the block like people looking for parking downtown until someone inside was able to correct the error and get the gate open.
Ah, the poor Queen.
