Who is the most famous person a family member/friend has bragged they have met?

[ThisPlumShark]

My dad said he met Dave spikey once

My uncle went on 15-1 and then a week later met Paul McCartney in the street. Not sure who would’ve felt more privileged.

My niece met Elon Musk - that did actually happen, she was dating someone who was a business associate.

A relation did work for Sidney Poitier. They worked for lots of celebs. Too outing to list.

My Dad met Bono from U2 but he wasn't really sure who he was and told me he'd met Bonio, which I'm pretty sure was a dog biscuit!

Not a relative, I met our late Queen, shook her hand and chatted to her.

I met Princess Anne twice, several years apart and in two completely different contexts. She remembered me the second time though, which I found absolutely remarkable given the numbers of people she must meet randomly every week. I’m completely un memorable as well. Nothing remarkable about why she met me, just the usual community worthy stuff.

We've met a few at comic cons recently. David Harbour,Jamie Campbell Bower,Matthew Modine, plus others from Stranger things.

Lost boys cast. Kiefer Sutherland,Corey Feldman etc.

Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris 🤢

My dbro was in Band of brothers and met Tom hanks. The red haired guy from it can't remember his name, and worked with the dark haired guy from heart beat and east Ender's Nick berry.

China china that is lovely.

DM has met Ringo Starr, and used to see Antony Hopkins through a mural friend on a fairly regular basis.

DDad did some work for Richard Branson in the 1970s.

King George V and Queen Mary.

Oh yes, and I once met Red Rum.

@jewelcase DMiL has also met Princess Anne briefly, twice. Longer the first time, and she also remembered her the second time. Remarkable.

That is remarkable about Princess Anne! Quite a skill!

DH has met Princess Anne and Prince Philip a reasonable amount. I don't know if PA remembered him any of the times though. His Prince P story is that Prince P stood on his foot at a ball they were at (there were LOTS of people though). Apparently it was very painful and DH felt very embarrassed and a bit gauche as he was quite young and had not been to many balls. This was about 30 years ago mind.

my grandad met the queen ❤️ can't top that one ! he got a coin from the maundy money purse in wakefield

My Aunt said she went on a tour of a German castle many years ago with Prince Charles

One of my customers dated Bryan Ferry back in The Day.

Omg lucky customer 😍

Oh I know. She has a few black and white framed pics.. Very impressive!!

Metallica.

My dad met Neil Armstrong at a work event, he has a great picture with him.

My dad met met Nelson Mandela when he was still incarcerated before transfer to Robbin island. had a nice chat apparently whilst my dad fixed his lightbulb. He dropped this into conversation many many years later as a by-the-by thing!!

My mother met Nelson Mandela

My parents were having a cocktail at a nice pub in Copenhagen, talking to the barman (in English) about how much they liked the city.

The next table was occupied by a handsome fellow on his own. As he got up to leave (joined by a couple of discreet men from the bar) he stopped to chat with my parents for a couple of minutes. He was charming.

Turned out to be Prince, now King, Frederik.

My dh has met 2 famous “red carpet” type people through work (he’s a GP). Sadly that means I can’t know who they are cos of confidentiality, though I can guess because of where he works. He’d never tell!

We exchanged pleasantries with a familiar looking local couple, both of whom were keen to enquire about our family activity before moving on with their walk. They then stopped and chatted again on their return.
We saw them once more that evening too, just on the local news this time - Judi Dench and Jim Broadbent!
