The Queen has been caught on camera saying Chinese officials were “very rude” during last year’s state visit by the Chinese President, Xi Jinping.

Our monarch was filmed talking about the treatment of Britain’s ambassador to China with a senior police officer at a Palace garden party yesterday.

Metropolitan Police Commander Lucy D’Orsi, who the monarch is told had overseen security during President Xi’s visit to the UK in October, is introduced to the Queen.

She is heard to respond: “Oh, bad luck.”

An official went on to tell the Queen that Commander D’Orsi had been “seriously, seriously undermined by the Chinese, but she managed to hold her own and remain in command”.

Commander D’Orsi told the Queen: “I was the Gold Commander so I’m not sure whether you knew, but it was quite a testing time for…”

A spokesperson for the palace said: “We do not comment on the Queen’s private conversations.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
