Queen & Prince Philip "took great delight" in engagement mishaps.

Ailsa Anderson, a former Palace employee, says Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip appreciated engagements that went awry.

According to Anderson, the royals are used to people striving for perfection, so when things go wrong, they revel in it.

A prior engagement left the Queen and Prince Philip trapped in a Canadian lake until a replacement boat arrived.

The old couple didn't seem to be bothered by what happened. In fact, the Queen said, "That was interesting."
