One former Labour cabinet minister, Clare Short, once found herself in this unfortunate scenario.
As the story is commonly told by MPs, Ms Short arrived late to a meeting of the Privy Council when her phone went off as proceedings began.
She frantically rummaged through her handbag but, to her embarrassment, was unable to find the phone before the ringtone stopped and the room fell silent.
'Oh dear, I hope it wasn't anyone important,' the Queen said, according to politicians present.
The story was told by Labour's shadow home secretary and Privy Council member Yvette Cooper, as MPs gathered in Parliament for a second consecutive day of special tributes to the Queen.
MPs and peers from all sides, dressed in dark clothing, having been sharing memories of their encounters with the Queen, who died aged 96 on Thursday.
They took part in a rare Saturday sitting to pay their respects.
Ms Cooper said her anecdote showed the Queen had a 'sense of mischief', a quality that others have reflected on in their recollections of the late monarch.
Many of these accounts have focused on the Queen's dry sense of humour and her ability to comfort them in nerve-jangling moments of high ceremony, under the watchful eyes of officialdom.
