Britain’s Queen Elizabeth ate pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday yesterday (04.03.14).
The 87-year-old monarch revealed they were served up at Buckingham Palace but admitted she didn’t try and flip them herself as she had someone else cook them.
The royal made the admission during a reception for Christ Church Cathedral Music Trust held at St James’s Palace in London.
John Briggs, registrar at Christ Church, was fortunate enough to meet the Queen and asked on behalf of his four-year-old son if she had enjoyed pancakes for dinner.
He said: "My little boy was very upset that he couldn’t come with me to see the Queen, but he told me to ask her a question on his behalf. "He wanted to know if she had pancakes today, and she said ‘yes’ but that she didn’t make them herself."
Meanwhile, the Queen will attend the Commonwealth Observance, the UK’s largest multi-faith celebration in Westminster Abbey in London on March 10.
She will be joined at the event by her husband, Prince Philip, her sons Prince Charles and Prince Edward and wife Sophie, the countess of Wessex.
