It gave the Commonwealth Games a distinctly royal flavour for the Australian women’s hockey team.

“Ahhh The Queen photobombed our selfie!! #royalty #sheevensmiled #amazing,” Jayde wrote on her Instagram account.

The “epic” photobomb must have given the Hockeyroos a special edge as they went on to trounce Malaysia 4-0 in their opening match at the Commonwealth Games.

Taylor later wrote on her Twitter, “@TheEllenShow I think our selfie tops yours! #queenselfie #queenphotobomb #hockeyroos #callme.”
