The late Queen Elizabeth II is warmly remembered for her wicked sense of humour - something which she used after a less than expected run-in with a builder at the palace
There are very few of us who can claim to having a personal, and unexpected, run-in with members of the Royal Family - least of all with the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Royal Upholsterer Kevin Andrews, who worked for the Queen Mother, remembered the story vividly in a documentary titled Secrets of the Royal Palaces. He said: “ builder was dismantling a desk so he could not see who was making the offer when the lady's voice asked him if he would like a cup of tea." The monarch's former butler Grant Harrold has spoken out several times about his time working for the Royal Family. He often addresses British etiquette and shared an insight into the Queen's personal habits - including exactly how she takes her tea.
