Speaking about the late monarch's preferred brands, Grant revealed: "I am sure the Queen enjoys her Assam or her Earl Grey the traditional way, made with tea leaves in a teapot and poured into a fine bone china teacup.
Andrews then remembered that the Queen came back with the tea and told the builder that it was on the table before saying he “looked up [he] saw the Queen leaving the room".
The brilliant story was revealed during the Channel 5 documentary, Secrets of the Royal Palaces, in which Queen Elizabeth II went entirely unnoticed by a builder as he made an unusual request.
Royal upholsterer Kevin Andrews, recalled the story in the documentary, explaining: “[A] builder was dismantling a desk so he could not see who was making the offer when the lady's voice asked him if he would like a cup of tea.".
Builder demanded 'proper cup of tea' - but didn't know he was talking to the Queen Working for the King and the Royal Family certainly has its perks.
