David Cameron recalls time he apologised to Queen after being caught claiming she 'purred' over independence result

Former Prime Minister David Cameron has recalled the time he had to apologise to the Queen after he broke protocol when he was heard claiming she "purred down the line" after he told her the result of the independence referendum.

The 55-year-old was caught on camera in 2014 telling the former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg about his conversation with the monarch.

After the clip was shared the then Tory PM said he would personally apologise to the Queen for leaking their conversation about Scotland voting 55 to 45% in favour of remaining in the UK.
