The Queen saved his life

Orlando believes the late Queen Elizabeth II saved his life after his parachute failed to open and he had to pull the emergency toggle while free-falling at 120mph for his TV show 'Orlando Bloom: To The Edge'.

He believes fate intervened thanks to the British monarch, as the incident occurred just hours after she passed away in September 2022.

Orlando was quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: “I cannot believe this just happened to me on my seventh jump.

“I pulled it twice, I looked up, the toggle, it was twisted and locked and I couldn’t get it. I was like, ‘What do I do? Do I undo and try and untie it?’

“That one was for the Queen and she totally saved me.”

After successfully returning to the ground, Orlando called Katy and told her: “You know it’s not my time.”
