QuotePrime Minister David Cameron has described his weekly meetings with the Queen as one of the most valuable hours in his week.

He was asked by someone in the audience at a PM Direct event what it was like to take tea with Queen Elizabeth II but revealed they don't drink anything together.

QuoteWeekly Chats with the Queen Help Clear My Head, says Cameron (but there's no coffee and he's not sure she gets anything out of it)

David Cameron has revealed how his weekly meetings with the Queen help him to 'sort out the problems' in his own head – but doubts she gets much out of it.  The Prime Minister said that after 60 years on the throne, the Queen has 'literally heard it all before'.

And he revealed the hour-long sessions on a Wednesday evening pass without tea or coffee – or anything stronger.

Prime Ministers are granted an 'audience' with the monarch every week, when Parliament is sitting, to update the head of state on the major issues the country faces.

But speaking during a Q&A session in Warrington today, Mr Cameron admitted that there is nothing left to shock or surprise the Queen, who has been served by a dozen prime ministers.

Always be yourself.  Unless you can be a unicorn.  Then always be a unicorn.

She is, but seriously, you are overdoing the fawning and groveling... You'll be called Sir soon Cameron, you can stop licking royal boots...  :orchid:
"You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'."
