Have you ever been driving along, minding your own business, and bumped into the President of the United States?
What, you haven’t? Must just be Katherine Ryan then.
Yep, the Canadian comedian had a very bizarre start to her day as she travelled to an appointment, only to get caught up in the chaos of Joe Biden’s UK arrival.
President Biden is currently on British soil and met with King Charles at Windsor Castle for 20 minutes of tea and talks in the monarch’s private sitting room.
Naturally, his entrance was anything other than subtle as a whole entourage escorted the world leader to the castle.
One person who got a front-row view of it all was Katherine in her taxi, along with partner Bobby Kootstra and their youngest child.

Taking to Instagram, Katherine uploaded a video of President Biden zooming past in his swanky black vehicle, along with several police cars and security cars.
‘Joeee! Which one is he in? He’s got so many!’, an amazed Bobby could be heard saying in the background, clearly having a fangirl moment.
Katherine then added a selfie of her adorable baby, joking that she was ‘impersonating the American President’ as she slept.
The Duchess actress shares son Fred, two, and baby daughter Fenna Grace, who was born in December last year, with Bobby and is also mum to Violet from a previous relationship.
In a further Instagram Story, Katherine explained her eventful morning.
Never not joking (Picture: Instagram)
‘I went all the way into the city at rush hour with a baby’, she began.
‘For an appointment that “wasn’t entered into the system properly”. I’ve had to rebook and come home’.
She added in jest: ‘I’m Canadian with British sensibility so I said “THANK YOU” and left happily.’
Well, at least you (sort of) got a glimpse of Joe Biden, Katherine!

Her chance encounter comes after Katherine got severely humbled by her eldest as the actress celebrated her 40th birthday.
To mark her special day, Katherine and Bobby, who entered into a civil partnership four years ago after being high school sweethearts, enjoyed a night away from their kids at Claridge’s Hotel in London.
However, before they headed off to the five-star luxury hotel, Violet had her own special way of marking her mum’s milestone birthday.

Katherine shared on Instagram: ‘”You’re starting to die.” Thank you to my daughter, Violet for clarifying why I’m always tired and to my husband @bobby_k__ and @claridgeshotel for the most restful 40th birthday imaginable.’
Shrugging off the remarks, Katherine shared a slew of snaps of herself and Bobby lounging in the hotel, enjoying a drink on the terrace and playing with their friends and family in the garden.
