Princess Anne's two-word response as she caught BBC presenter hiding from her at Olympics (Image: Getty) 1500 silver medallist Steve Cram has branded an embarrassing encounter with Princess Anne his "funniest Olympic moment". At the height of his athletics career, the star, who is now part of the BBC 's athletics commentary team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games , had attempted to hide from the Princess Royal to avoid further delaying his meal. However, she promptly caught the athlete, 63, in the act alongside decathlon gold medal winner, Daley Thompson, 65, prompting the Royal to issue a mischievous two-word response.

Steve shared the moment, which occurred during the Seoul Olympic Games, with the Daily Mail's Weekend Magazine, revealing: "At Seoul in 1988, Daley Thompson and I were very hungry and were on our way to get food when we noticed an entourage with Princess Anne. "We knew we'd have to engage with them and we'd be late for our meal. So we hid in a doorway but as the entourage went past, Princess Anne looked around, spotted us and said, 'Hello, boys'.
