Former Royal butler Grant Harrold has revealed what surprised him most during his first meeting with the Queen.
The ex Buckingham Palace employee worked for Prince Charles for seven years after a six-month long interview process to gain a position in the Royal household. Speaking to Slingo , Grant was asked to recall his first impression of the Queen and disclosed what surprised him most about her.
He said: “I remember thinking how short she was, you don’t realise how short she is - that was the first thing. The other thing I remember is the wonderful kind of way she had about her, she wasn’t very regal or royal, but we had a really nice conversation and I felt really relaxed around her.
