Queen’s ‘Brutal’ Remark To Royal Chef After ‘Discovering Slug In Food’

The Queen once made a ‘brutal’ remark to the Royal chefs after ‘finding a slug in her dinner,’ according to the book ‘Dinner at Buckingham Palace’.

Charles Oliver, a former servant under Her Majesty, revealed in his novel that she had a funny response after having an uninvited guest at dinner with herself and Prince Phillip.

According to The Mirror, he wrote in his book: “[The Queen and Prince Phillip] would keep a notepad next to their plates so they could make notes about the meal and give their feedback to the chef.”

The former chef continued: “Once, on a torn-off top sheet the footmen found the dead body of a slug,” Oliver added that on the note The Queen had written, ‘I found this in the salad—could you eat it?’.”

During her 70-year-reign, The Queen has gained a reputation for her dry sense of humour and other staff members who have worked under her during this time have shared times she has been a bit of a joker.

However, she would pretend to be her famous corgi dogs, Monty, Willow, and Holly, when sending these letters.

Armstrong explained: “He would write these letters from their Jack Russell to the corgis and the Queen would write these letters back.
