Queen Elizabeth ‘Annoyed,’ Queen Mother ‘Mortified’ With This Person During ‘Miserable’ Scotland Trip

Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother disliked the same person several years ago.

In the biography “Tony and Cherie,” royal author Paul Scott talked about the Queen and the Queen Mother’s annual trips to Scotland with Tony and Cherie Blair. But instead of bonding with each other, the royals found it hard to interact with the Blairs.

“From the very beginning, Cherie did not endear herself to the royal family. At a Sunday lunch at Balmoral shortly after the death of Princess Diana, the Queen Mother was said to be ‘mortified’ by the Prime Minister’s wife’s choice of trousers for the occasion,” he said.

The Queen Mother was also upset with Cherie for not curtsying to Her Majesty. And as such, the monarch also had a tough time warming up to Cherie.

“The Queen was annoyed by what she considered the hectoring legalist tone of Mrs. Blair when she engaged in her conversation. During those miserable stays in Scotland, Cherie has never indulged in a country sport of her own – arguing the case of the ban with her blue-blooded hosts,” he said.

And during one occasion, the Queen seemingly got offended with Cherie’s statement about the amount of alcohol being served to Her Majesty’s guests. Scott said that the monarch doesn’t like seeing alcohol glasses that are not filled up to the brim.

When Cherie saw how quickly the drinks were being refilled during one gathering, she couldn’t help but comment about it.

In the book “The Blair Years: Extracts From The Alastair Campbell Diaries,” author Alistair Campbell said that the Queen became frosty towards Cherie shortly after their first Balmoral trip together.

During their conversation, Cherie asked the Queen if the rumors about Queen Victoria having an affair with John Brown were true. As of late, it is still unclear whether or not the Queen answered Cherie’s controversial question.
