The Queen ‘told her grandchildren off for loading the dishwasher’, her cousin Lady Elizabeth Anson has revealed
THE QUEEN has been described as "very, very normal" by grandson Prince Harry.
But it has been revealed that the monarch, 93, once told off him - and her other seven grandchildren - for "loading the dishwasher" and expressed her fears they didn't "have enough staff".
Speaking to the in 2016, Lady Elizabeth Anson, who is Her Majesty's cousin, revealed her very unique fears about how the Duke of Sussex - as well as Prince William, Zara Phillips, Peter Phillips, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn - were acting at mealtimes.
The Queen confided in her how she was worried her eight grandchildren had lost the art of conversation.
"She said to me that she found it really difficult," recalled the daughter of Thomas Anson, the fourth Earl of Lichfield, and Princess Anne of Denmark .
"Because they didn’t really know how to talk each other.”
Lady Elizabeth, who has been the Queen's party planner since 1960, revealed the Queen said: “I suppose it’s because they’re always getting up and down and helping somebody and putting something in a dishwasher or whatever they’re doing.
"They don't have enough staff."
However, Harry, 35, is insistent that his grandmother is very down-to-earth.
In a 2012 interview with Katie Couric, an American journalist and television personality, he said: “[She is] really, very, very normal.
“Very relaxed, but you know she also takes a huge interest in what we all do.
“She wants to know which charities we are supporting, how life is going in our jobs as such.”
It was reported by the in 2017 that Buckingham palace alone had more than 1,500 staff.
Earlier today, we told you how the Queen had granted "extraordinary permission" for her dresser and confidante Angela Kelly to publish a book detailing 25 years of curating her iconic wardrobe.
