The Queen was speaking to
Police Commander Lucy D’Orsi, who was recounting a meeting she had with Chinese
officials ahead of President Xi Jinping's visit to the UK last year.
The Queen has been recorded
on camera making unguarded comments about Chinese officials just hours after
David Cameron was caught on a microphone criticising Nigeria and Afghanistan.
The gaffe occurred during a
garden party hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
When told that the Chinese
officials had threatened to cancel the visit, the Queen responded: "They
were very rude to the ambassador".
Her remarks come after
Nigeria and Afghanistan criticised comments made by the Prime Minister as
"unfair" and "embarrassing" after Mr Cameron was overheard
describing the two countries as "fantastically corrupt".
