From Medley: “One of Queen Elizabeth’s cooks was fired for making remarks about poisoning

her and wondering where to buy cyanide.” And I read somewhere today that, when the police came to help the Queen remove her personal effects from the Palace during that fire several years ago, she found one of them standing before an open dresser drawer in her personal bedchamber about ready to knick some of her knickers until he was aware of her standing there watching him.
