He famously<br \/>\nslept outside the hospital for two weeks awaiting the arrival of<br \/>\nPrince George in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was another George who had first sparked his<br \/>\ninterest in the Royal Family.<\/p>\n<p>Terry Hutt was born in London and, as a young boy, met King<br \/>\nGeorge VI when he visited the area during the Blitz. He recalled<br \/>\nbeing given a gift by the king and his wife, later Queen Elizabeth<br \/>\nThe Queen Mother, and became fans of the royals from that<br \/>\nmoment.<\/p>\n<p>He followed the royals avidly and claimed that Queen Elizabeth<br \/>\nII had a special nickname for him. Speaking about his passion for<br \/>\nall things royal in 2016, he said Elizabeth II called him \u201dthe<br \/>\nUnion Jack man\u201d and added that he loved to be able to make her<br \/>\nsmile when she saw him.<\/p>\n<p>One of his first royal camping trips was to Westminster Abbey<br \/>\nwhere he arrived in plenty of time to grab a spot to see the then<br \/>\nPrincess Elizabeth arrive for her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947.<br \/>\nTerry Hutt was 12 at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Almost seventy years later, he spent days sleeping on a bench to<br \/>\ncatch a glimpse of a royal baby who bore a striking resemblance to<br \/>\nQueen Elizabeth II when she was young. In 2015, he was in the front<br \/>\nrow to see Kate emerge from St. Mary\u2019s carrying Princess Charlotte<br \/>\nfor her debut in front of the world\u2019s press.<\/p>\n<p>Terry Hutt was instantly recognisable, and not just because his<br \/>\nface had become so familiar. He usually wore a suit made of Union<br \/>\nJack material, complete with matching hat, hence the nickname given<br \/>\nto him by the longest reigning Monarch in British history.<\/p>\n<p>As well as his love of royalty, Terry Hutt had many passions and<br \/>\ncampaigned avidly for a number of causes including the NHS and<br \/>\nBirnbeck Pier.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after his death, his daughter, Tracey Joy, said \u201dalife<br \/>\nwell lived and as we are grieving we look back at his fight for<br \/>\nlife, love for his family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Terry Hutt, royal superfan, 1935 \u2013 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"tbmarker\"\/>  <\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source royalcentral.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royal superfan, Terry Hutt, has died.
