According to Mirror Online, Queen Elizabeth was once forced to remove a nanny she had for Prince Charles after the nanny ‘overstepped’ the mark with the monarch.

Bryan Kozlowski, a royal author, told the story of this particular nanny in his book Long Live the Queen. From Britain’s Longest Reigning Monarch, 13 Life Rules.

In his book, Bryan describes how the nanny in question would ‘torment’ the royal kitchen staff over tiny Charles’ meals, leading to Queen Elizabeth’s decision to fire her.

“It is said she took pleasure in tormenting the Palace kitchen with her exacting standards. Dishes for young Charles were constantly being refused or remade based on little more than the nanny’s personal whims,” he wrote.

Bryan went on to share a particular 1956 incident that really triggered the monarch, sharing: “In 1956, the Queen sent the nursery a simple request that Charles, then eight years old, be given a special pudding she thought he might like.”

The story went on: “The nanny refused, crossed the dessert from the menu, and incurred the Crown’s wrath. Nobody crosses out the Queen’s request.”
