RICHARD KAY reveals how he accidentally 'ruined' Queen Elizabeth's birthday surprise... Find out how in the Palace Confidential newsletter
Due to the nature of her role, Queen Elizabeth II was rarely surprised when it came to her birthday. Almost every year, the beloved monarch would head to the luxurious Ritz Hotel in the heart of London for supper. But her children - namely Prince Edward - were determined to push the boat out (literally) for her 70th birthday in 1996. A plan was hatched for the Queen, Prince Philip and other members of the Royal Family to travel via the River Thames to the famous Waterside Inn at Bray in Berkshire. Unfortunately, Richard Kay, the Daily Mail's Editor-at-Large, unknowingly broke the story before Her Majesty could be treated to the unexpected meal. 'There was uproar at Buckingham Palace,' Richard confides in this week's Palace Confidential newsletter. 'I was accused of spoiling a surprise party, and told that the Queen, because of the very nature of her role, got very few unexpected treats and I had ruined one.' Not long afterwards, Richard was reporting on one of Her Majesty's overseas tours during which she hosted a garden party. But, he recalls, he was quietly asked to avoid the Queen – because she was still a little sore about the 'party episode'. Doing as he was told, Richard made himself busy by talking to a group of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting. The following day, one of them let it slip that Prince Philip had spotted this encounter and told them off for talking to 'that bloody man'. Both Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson were accused of leaking the story to Richard - but he insists they were blameless. Indeed, the truth behind where the story came from is even more unbelievable.
