Broadcaster JJ Chalmers has revealed how honoured he felt when the Queen revealed she had watched him perform on Strictly Come Dancing.
The former Strathallan pupil was stunned when Her Majesty told how she’d enjoyed his performance in a kind handwritten note to his father.
Ex-Royal Marine and friend of Prince Harry, JJ was seriously injured in Afghanistan in 2011 in a blast that killed two of his colleagues.
The 35-year-old, who served with Harry in Afghanistan, suffered a broken neck, lost two fingers, and almost lost both arms in the explosion.
While undergoing some 30 operations over the following four years, the former military man won a medal in the 2014 Invictus Games, scooping a bronze for GB in non-amputee cycling.
He also started a career in broadcasting, covering events including the death of Prince Philip in 2021, and taking part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2020.
JJ was speaking to BBC’s Huw Edwards on Sunday amid ongoing coverage of the Queen’s death about the sweet note his dad John, one of Her Majesty’s chaplains for nearly a decade, had received.
Discussing the connection to the Royal Family, JJ said: “It’s a remarkable thing to have a relationship with the Royal Family of my own, and then the relationship my father’s had for a very long time with the Queen, and some of the occasions that I’ve met her with my father.”
He then revealed: “One of the loveliest things I’ve ever seen, following the death of her husband, my father had written to her and she returned a letter which was typed and had all the expected notes with it.
“But at the bottom there was a handwritten message.

royal shame! As the world bids its final farewell to the late Queen Elizabeth II with a grand funeral fit for, well, a queen, social media whistle blowers are blasting her majesty’s family for refusing to allow Prince Harry to salute his beloved grandmother during her last promenade. “What’s most upsetting is that because Prince Harry was not allowed to wear his uniform, he wasn’t allowed to salute his commander-in-chief, granny, one last time. Sending you love, Harry,” tweeted a ticked-off cyber critic. “Poor Prince Harry,” penned another Twitter complainer.” “My heart breaks for that kid, not allowed his uniform or to salute… can’t they just bloody let it go….hate seeing him being treated like a second-class citizen after all his been through with losing his mother.”Harry, 38, dressed in a black suit, kept his hands tightly at his sides while father King Charles III, Princess Ann, brother Prince William, 40, the Prince of Wales, and other royals respectfully raised their right hands to the brim of their military hats, honoring Her Grace during the state funeral Monday. Formerly the Duke of Sussex, Harry, who served two tours in Afghanistan as a forward air controller and pilot with the British Army Air Corps, also did not wear his military uniform as did his decorated kin. And digital detractors were outraged by the disrespect. “One thing I don’t agree with is that Prince Harry wasn’t allowed to wear his military uniform to Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, was seen looking isolated in his grief as he was left out of the Royal salute behind the Queen's coffin. Prince Harry followed the coffin of his grandmother the Queen as it was carried in a procession from New Palace Yard towards Westminster Abbey on the State Gun Carriage before her state funeral. Harry joined his father King Charles and other members of the royal family on foot, including his brother William, Prince of Wales and Andrew, Duke of York.The King and other royals, including the Princess Royal, the Prince of Wales and the Earl of Wessex were all wearing military uniform.
Prince Harry has appeared alongside the Queen's children and grandchildren in his military uniform at the vigil for Her Majesty. All eight of the grandchildren are to pay their respects at the vigil in Westminster Hall.
Prince Harry and his military uniform. Just one day after he wasn't allowed to wear his military uniform for the Service for the Reception of Her Majesty's Coffin, Harry will get to wear his uniform for an upcoming event.A source close to the royal family tells ET, Palace officials have informed Harry he can wear his military uniform at the Vigil on Saturday at Westminster Hall.
As the Queen’s coffin made its way to Westminster Hall from Buckingham Palace with the Royal Family in tow, many noticed that Prince Harry and Prince Andrew failed to salute during the late monarch's coffin procession. It’s since come to light that the two royals were reportedly forbidden from saluting, and were told to bow their heads to show their respect instead.This comes because Harry and Andrew were not in military uniform, unlike the likes of Princess Anne, Prince William and King Charles III.The pair wore morning suits for the sad affair rather than uniform as they are no longer working royals. In addition to this, Prince Andrew was stripped of his military titles last year but retained his rank as a Vice Admira.
