When Liam Payne met with the late Queen Elizabeth the interaction left him absolutely amazed by the former monarch – and he later spent hours creating an amazing tribute to her Liam Payne’s highly successful music career gave him and his One Direction bandmates the opportunity to meet some of the most senior royals quite a few times.

However, two years later, Liam met the late ever-popular Queen Elizabeth and seemed a little overawed by meeting the former monarch, for whom he clearly had a deep respect.

As reported in The Independent, Liam posted a photograph of an incredible oil painting he had been working on of the late Queen in her younger years, just a couple of months after her death. “Unfinished oil canvas I painted of the Queen,” Payne captioned his post. “This is 4.5 feet tall and took about 50 hours… RIP HRH.”
