  • Theresa May shared an anecdote of a picnic at Balmoral where she
    dropped some cheese in front of the late monarch.

    May told MPs in the House of Commons:

    I remember one picnic at Balmoral, which was taking place in one of
    the bothies on the estate. The hampers came from the castle, and we
    all mucked in to put the food and drink out on the table.

    I picked up some cheese, put it on a plate and was transferring it to
    the table. The cheese fell on the floor. I had a split-second decision
    to make.

    She went on:

    I picked up the cheese, put it on the plate and put it on the table. I
    turned round to see that my every move had been watched very carefully
    by Her Majesty the Queen.

    I looked at her. She looked at me and she just smiled. And the cheese
    remained on the table.

    The Queen was “quite simply the most remarkable person I have ever
    met”

    That's the shittest story I've ever read.
