The Queen issues a memo telling police officers not to eat nuts at Buckingham Palace ahead of the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, it has been claimed at the phone-hacking trial.
The Queen was concerned that police were eating all the nibbles left out for guests ahead of the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, it has been claimed at the phone-hacking trial.
According to an email sent by the News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman in 2005 to his then editor Andy Coulson, she was "upset" that all the "nuts being left out" were being scoffed by palace officers.
Goodman told Coulson: "Queen furious about police stealing bowls of nuts and nibbles left out for her in apartments in the BP/Queen's corridor. She has a very savoury tooth and staff leave out cashews, Bombay Mix, almonds etc. Prob is that police on patrol eat the lot.
"She started marking the bowls to see when the levels dipped," he added.
