Prue Leith is spilling the tea on a nerve-wracking moment she shared with Queen Elizabeth II.
Leith, who launched her career by building her own catering company, explained that she was once hired to cater an event attended by the queen.
“So I had to give her a cup of tea,” she said. “And I didn’t know how she wanted it, and the palace wouldn’t tell me … they said, ‘You must give her a choice.’ So I said, ‘Black or white, ma’am?’ And she said, ‘Black, please.’” Leith said she added some lemon to the cup because she “thought people who have black tea have it with lemon.”“The thing was already in there,” Leith said, “and I didn’t have a second cup, so I got a cocktail stick and I fished the lemon out ... I put it on the tray cloth, and spread this tea stain all over the tray.”“I topped up her cup with hot water thinking that people who like black tea usually like it quite weak, and she said, ‘I like it strong,’” Leith recalled.
Leith may still cringe when she remembers the moment but as Cohen pointed out, Queen Elizabeth didn’t seem to hold a grudge about the incident.upon Leith, making her Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services to food, broadcasting and charity.“It took her 50 years to do it,” Leith quipped.
The TV presenter and restaurateur has crossed paths with the royal family multiple times over the years, attending Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations last summer.
