Lady Allen becomes internet sensation after ‘falling asleep’ at Queen’s event

LONDON, UK – The wife of Jamaica’s Governor General Sir Patrick Allen, Lady Patricia Allen, has become an overnight internet sensation and has sent the British public into a frenzy, after she was caught on video apparently fast asleep at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant on Sunday.

The wife of the Queen’s representative in Jamaica was seated in close proximity of Prince Charles at the function.

As the camera focused on the Prince of Wales, Lady Allen was caught apparently dozing off several times during the event, leaving British viewers in stitches.

Several of those viewers shared screenshots of the hilarious moment on Twitter.

Governor General Sir Patrick Allen and Lady Allen were guests at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations to mark the 70 year reign of Queen Elizabeth II on the weekend.

“Anybody else notice the woman asleep behind Prince Charles?” tweeted one man, with a screenshot of the woman dressed in red and pink with her eyes closed.

“The lady behind Prince Charles has fallen asleep. #Jubilee Pageant,” tweeted another woman.

“The sleeping woman behind Prince Charles should be trending. She was totally out of it!” commented another individual.

But not all social media users found humour in the moment, and instead described the actions of the woman as being disrespectful.

“Who is this sleepy woman. How can she sleep through such a monumental event. Oh please someone who is she???” shared one Twitter user.

Wrote another: “Jeez how embarrassed will that woman be when she realised the world has noted her falling sleeping.”

Other persons, however, came to Lady Allen’s defence.

“People need to calm down and stop hating on the poor woman, she’s knackered. Let her sleep, let her live!” said the individual.

Both Sir Patrick Allen and Lady Allen were guests at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations to mark the 70 year reign of Queen Elizabeth II on the weekend.

Photographs on Saturday had confirmed the attendance of the Jamaican dignitaries at the event.

On Sunday, Prince Charles represented the Queen at the Jubilee Pageant to mark the final day of celebration, with over 10,000 people taking part in the event which included military personnel, celebrities and vintage cars.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge accompanied by their three children and Charles’ wife, Camilla, were also in attendance at the event.
