The British Royal Courts: When a private discussion is made public

Recorded by an indiscreet camera, Queen Elizabeth II has committed a rare odd mistake calling Chinese officials "very rude"  for their behavior during their last October visit of President Xi Jinping in the UK. This odd-which coincides with another diplomatic gaffe committed by Prime Minister David Cameron which occurred on Tuesday during a meeting between the sovereign and head of London police, Lucy D'Orsi, who described the difficulties encountered during the passage of Xi Jinping. When told that the Queen Lucy D'Orsi oversaw security this event, during the traditional garden party in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, she answers shot back: "Oh, no luck!".

Continuing her description of events, police reports how Chinese officials left a meeting with Barbara Woodward, Ambassador of United Kingdom to China, saying that their visit was over. "They were very rude with the ambassador," then said the Queen. An output somewhat unusual from a head of state about the other countries, particularly from the British monarch, held to a strict duty of reserve. "It was a bit stressful sometimes on both sides," admitted the British Foreign Affairs Philip Hammond, stressing in a statement to British media, that this type of state visit entailed "significant logistical challenges ".

A spokesman for the royal palace for his part refused to comment on "private conversations with the queen." He nevertheless insisted that the visit of Xi Jinping had been "a great success", all parties "worked closely together to ensure that everything goes well." The spokesman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Lu Kang, also stressed that "the state visit of President Xi Jinping, last year was a great success." However, when about Queen were reported by BBC World, the transmission was interrupted in China, reported the British public channel.

She wore with a same tones hat, adorned with two feathers and ribbons.

If any king or queen British had hitherto passed through the doors of Berkhamsted School, it was nevertheless welcomed in 1958 a member of the royal family. Not least since it was the Queen Mum, mother of Elizabeth II and widow of the late King George VI. This has not failed to be recalled to her daughter, including the image. The sovereign has indeed presented with a framework bringing together multiple photos to commemorate this visit there nearly 60 years.

Very smiling as usual, Elizabeth II did not seem to be bothered by the big blue she wore on her right leg. A hematoma was obviously intrigued the British press. But it was unable to obtain any explanation or other comments on this subject from Buckingham Palace.
