Princess Anne’s FURIOUS outburst at Royal servant revealed

What would Her Majesty think! - by Grace Back
  • 21 Dec 2018

A new documentary has revealed how Princess Anne furiously reprehended one of her royal aides for "fumbling a task" and "not behaving" in the correct manner.

Ryan Parry, from the Daily Mirror, secured a job as a footman at Buckingham Palace to experience the “almost feudal class structure” of the Royal Family.

In 2015 documentary Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm, Parry revealed fascinating insights into the royal household.

He said: “You are a servant to people of higher calling and you have to behave in a subservient manner.

“Staff weren’t allowed to walk down the centre of the carpets because we would wear them out.

“The central part was of course restricted for the Royal Family.”

Parry also recalled how he was once told off for breaking china, but claimed he never got yelled at quite like a fellow aide who fumbled a task he was assigned by Princess Anne. 

Mr Parry said: “She looked at him and said: "You incompetent t**t!!"
