I just put it in my pocket like you would and said thank you.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully it seems that someone was playing a joke on Mr Norfolk rather than genuinely trying to pass of Kim as a replacement for the queen, and it has been taken in the right spirits. The partygoer has now listed the note for sale on eBay for five pounds, and said he will give half of the proceeds to charity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The story is just another strange one in the life of Kim Jong-Un, who often finds himself at the centre of some crazy stories. Last year, North Korean official media apparently reported that he had sent an astronaut to the sun, while other news stories reported that whole the leader was out of the public eye for some time that he had actually become ill after binging on cheese!<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801780074-ADNFCR\"
