While we think Robbie Williams is a VERY memorable person, apparently the Queen doesn't seem to agree ...

The 45-year-old pop star has opened up about the hilarious moment Queen Elizabeth mistook him for a member of congress, before later thinking he was a dog trainer.

Reminiscing about performing for Her Majesty at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, he said: "I have had the pleasure of singing for the Queen. But she hasn't got a clue who I am.

"I sang 'Let Me Entertain You'.

"After, I met the Queen and shook her hand. She thought I was a member of congress."

That same year, the 'Angels' singer sang at the Royal Variety Performance alongside Kylie Minogue and Ashleigh Butler and her dog Pudsey.

But the 93-year-old monarch still didn't seem to know who the former Take That singer was.

He said: "At the Royal Variety Performance, in the line-up afterwards, we were shaking hands... and she thought I was Pudsey's trainer.”

Awkward!
