Moment the Queen starts to laugh after being told to re-do Christmas speech 'from the top'

The Queen had to re-record last year's Christmas message after she was interrupted by a chirping bird in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.

Her Majesty, known affectionately as 'One Take Windsor' for her ability to get things right the first time, was told to redo the whole speech 'from the top' by member of the production team.

The Queen's response is revealed as part of the new ITV documentary Queen of the World.

In the exchange, the crew member tells the queen to "redo it from the top" when the bird starts cheeping.

The Queen replied: "From the top of the second page?"

The crew member says: "From the very start."

The Queen then says: "You want the whole thing again?"

She chuckles as she is told "if possible" by the member of the TV crew.

She said: "It was important for me, especially now being a part of the royal family, to have all 53 of the Commonwealth countries incorporated, and I knew that it would be a fun surprise as well for my now husband, who didn't know, and he was really over the moon to find out that I would make this choice for our day together."
