How random?
As we all know, members of the royal family have codenames within their security details.
It gives the bodyguards a way of speaking about the royals without using their real names.
Queen Elizabeth II has a number of different titles and there is a proper way to address the monarch when meeting her.
If you ever find yourself face-to-face with the monarch, you should call her “Your Majesty” when speaking with her.
However, according to Express, in order to protect the Queen’s identity during engagements there is a codename her bodyguards use.
And that codename is ...“Sharon”.
Yep, Sharon.
Apparently, in written communications, staff and security protection officers refer to Elizabeth II as “S” in what has been believed to be a reference to her being the Sovereign.
But a source revealed to
The Sun that the S stands for Sharon.
The former royal aide said:
"She’s written down as ‘S’ before cupping his hand over his mouth and whispering ‘it’s Sharon’ when pressed on what ‘S’ stood for."
Royal historian, Hugo Vickers, also told
The Sun:
"It is highly likely. The purpose of any sobriquet is that it should be anonymous and memorable."
"If it can also be a bit mischievous and therefore all the more memorable, then that makes sense."
"Although S might simply stand for Sovereign of course."
We LOVE the idea that the Queen's nickname is Sharon.
