His memoirs lifted the lid on life with the royals and Her Majesty is not impressed.

The ex-PM described the Queen as stuck-up and divulged details of their private conservations, including how she handled Princess Diana’s death. Palace insiders have accused Blair of betraying her trust.

He revealed how the Queen once hosted a barbecue at Balmoral Castle before clearing away the plates and then washing up.

Mr Blair found the bash "a vivid combination of the intriguing, the surreal and the utterly freaky".

One senior courtier said the royals had expressed their “profound sense of disappointment” that the former PM had blabbed in his book A Journey.

“It’s a fundamental principle that what goes on in meetings between the Prime Minister and the Queen should remain only known to them,” the Daily Star quoted the courtier as saying.
