Queen Elizabeth caught on camera bad-mouthing Chinese officials at Buckingham Palace

Let’s just say that one didn’t call them “a great bunch of guys”.

Queen Elizabeth has been caught calling Chinese officials “very rude” by her own cameraman in an incident that won’t do much to help relations between China and the UK.

Her Majesty was heard to make the remarks at a recent garden party for her 90^th birthday while in conversation with Metropolitan Police Commander Lucy D’Orsi, who was in charge of security during the visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife last October.

The footage was released to broadcasters and appeared online overnight.

It comes in the wake of footage showing Prime Minister David Cameron referring to Nigeria and Afghanistan as “fantastically corrupt countries” in conversation with the Queen ahead of the international anti-corruption summit this week.

Needless to say, this news has caused some amused and amusing reaction:

David Cameron on Nigeria and Afghanistan. The Queen on China. Quick deploy prince philip to distract everyone

And yet the ongoing farce persists that the Queen never shares her opinions on anything… https://t.co/1i2emRqUO5

I started to read about the Queen and rude China because I I thought it was about some rather naughty dinner service. I was disappointed.

Though this Des’ree parody account probably sums it up best:

Now the Queen calls Chinese 'rude'. Not like her to be so crude. Maybe just in a bad mood. Ooh I get the shivers.
