[Captain Hilts]

I, for one, am greatly relieved that the rumors she rooted for Arsenal aren't true.

The latter article here also claims President Obama favors West Ham.

Her Majesty revealed her appreciation of the East End team during a discussion amongst the Royal staff over the club’s game against Millwall on Tuesday, reports the Sunday Mirror.

A source said: "The Queen has never wanted people to know who she supports as she wants to be seen to be neutral.

"But she gave up her secret after overhearing one of her staff, a Millwall fan, talking to a colleague about the derby game with West Ham. They were quite shocked as she’s not exactly your typical West Ham fan."

The Queen is rumoured to have begun following West Ham after meeting their manager Ron Greenwood a number of times. Barack Obama also supports the Hammers.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman told the newspaper: "Which team the Queen supports is not something we would know."

Her blood is not just blue - it's CLARET and blue.

After years of refusing to publicly name her favourite football team, the Queen has let slip she is a secret West Ham fan.

Her Majesty revealed her love of the Hammers, whose anthem is I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, to staff after overhearing them talking about the club's rivalry with East London neighbours Millwall.

Her allegiance is believed to date back to her admiration for West Ham's most successful manager, the late Ron Greenwood. She met him several times and awarded him the CBE in 1981. The Queen has also always had huge respect for the spirit of East Enders, who were repeatedly bombed by the Germans during the Blitz.

A Windsor Castle source said: "The Queen has never wanted people to know who she supports because she wants to be seen to be neutral.

"But she gave up her secret after overhearing one of her staff members saying he was a Millwall fan and was talking to another member of staff about the derby between West Ham and their arch rivals.
