The hidden side of the Queen of Britain

Some close to the Queen of Britain, Elizabeth II, revealed the hidden side of Her Majesty's personality, as they say that she is cheerful and modest inside the palace, gossiping and laughing with her staff of servants, and treating them comfortably, unlike external occasions in which she appears more reverent and strict.

Those close circles say that when she trusts someone, she does not hesitate to treat him with great humility, and among these people who gossip with her is her special assistant, Susan Hussey, who has been by her side for six decades.

Among the women in her circle are Lady Annabelle Whitehead, Lady Elizabeth Liming, and Prince Charles' nanny, Mabel Anderson.

One royal confidant says the queen could go from being the country's highest-ranking dignitary to "goals with those she trusts".

He adds: She has a good judgment of one's character, and once you trust him it becomes very easy to deal with him.

Throughout her nearly 70-year reign, the Queen used to get up at the same time in the morning and follow the same schedule. Her morning program includes drinking the finest tea with an incredibly delicate bath. And while some might expect the Queen to savor only the finer things in life, she seems like every other normal person when it comes to indulging in her culinary pleasures. The Queen's choice of morning food seems a bit simple, but above all she makes sure that her grandchildren definitely agree with it. She prefers a little biscuit with tea. When I was there, she loved Bath Olivers' chocolate, says former Royal Chef Darren McGrady.

Marks Huntley's Bath Olivers describes its chocolates for the Queen as dark, rich in chocolate and generously covered with a crunchy baked biscuit.

Olivers' chocolate is the Queen's best morning treat, and is made using a patented recipe from the 1930s, which includes hops and barley, and is enriched with dark chocolate.

With a delicious breakfast, the Queen takes her first cup of tea.

She prefers Earl Gray tea without sugar and a drop of milk every now and then.

During afternoon tea, the Queen sips another cup of Earl Gray tea and sample cakes such as gingerbread and jam, and chocolate chip cookie.

And her chocolate bar was also inherited from her by her favorite grandson, Prince William.

• The Queen can go from being the highest dignitary in the country to being a “talker with whom she trusts.”
