The Queen's former postmaster has revealed how Her Majesty was 'great craic' - and even pulled a hilarious prank on him
The Queen's former postmaster has revealed how Her Majesty was "great craic" - and even pulled a hilarious prank on him involving a spoon. Mick Delaney, who worked at Buckingham Palace for almost 20 years, has opened up about his time with the royal family who he describes as "normal in so many ways."
"I don't have one bad word to say about the Queen or Prince Philip. When she died, I got so many texts from my Irish friends that it was like my nana had died. "He said: 'Your Majesty, do you remember that game with the spoon. She smiled and said Yes!. 'Would you play it with the Postmaster?' "A message was sent down to a new policeman one day that we wanted some crisps and a can of coke from the shop. However unbeknown to us, the Queen was leaving in her green Range Rover at the same time.
Mick also joined the Queen on many state visits and met several world leaders including Russian President Vladimir Putin and former US President George W Bush. He said: "Putin was quite small and very quiet. After the event, two Russian KGB agents offered me a drink from a bottle of 1973 whiskey which is the year I was born.
