Bargain Hunt expert and auctioneer Charles Hanson admits that he met Her Majesty two months before her passing in 2022 and revealed what he felt after sitting with the monarch.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Charles said: "I was very lucky. In 2022 I conducted an auction for Her Majesty at Windsor Castle. That was two months before she died."

The Bargain Hunt star said then went onto brand Her Majesty "amazing".

"And she was so personable, polite, caring, thought-provoking and a gentle lady. And that was two months before she died. Amazing lady," he added.

The late Queen had ruled for 70 years, since February 6, 1952, following the death of her father, King George VI.

This comes as Telegraph reported that it makes the monarch significantly wealthier than his mother was before she died.
