In 2015, Queen Elizabeth visited the set of the Iron Throne, which was located near Belfast in Northern Ireland. Reporters caught a few pictures of her standing next to the gray pointy chair, but none of them caught a picture of her sitting on it. That's because she never did sit on it, even though she totally could've if she'd really wanted to, and the photo almost certainly would've gone viral.

In a later interview on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," the "Game of Thrones" showrunners reflected on the Queen's visit to their show's set and explained why she'd declined the opportunity: "Apparently the Queen of England is not allowed to sit on a foreign throne," explained David Benioff. "This is an esoteric rule we didn't know about until that moment."
