Queen Elizabeth II was not amused. Britain’s monarch has been caught on camera complaining about the rudeness of Chinese officials during preparations for last October’s much-vaunted state visit by President Xi Jinping.

The queen was filmed talking to Metropolitan Police Commander Lucy D’Orsi at her first garden party of the year in Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.

D’Orsi was introduced to the queen as “gold commander,” in charge of security and emergency services during Xi’s visit.

“Oh, bad luck,” the queen said.

D’Orsi went on to complain about how the visit had been a "quite a testing time” for her. She recalled how Chinese officials had walked out of a meeting with her and British Ambassador Barbara Woodward, telling them “the trip was off.”

“They were very rude to the ambassador,” the queen said, also referring to the incident as “extraordinary.”

D’Orsi added: “It was very rude and very undiplomatic, I thought.”

So say the colonial masters, while people are still being killed due to thier treacherous policies in the form of kashmir.
She is the symbol of an empire who has done so many worse things that if ISIS continues its killing for another 100 years they will still be nothing compared to the Englishmen

Its also very rude to talk badly about your guest behind their back. Not sure exactly the circumstance of the incident, but calling the trip off sounds like typical negotiation tactics.

Kinda like chinese officials and citizens do in other countries

The Queen was quite right to express an opinion. She always behaves perfectly when visiting a foreign country and should expect the same from her guests. It was not intended fro the camera anyway.

No big deal. Business as usual. The feeling is mutual

As long as UK "opens up" wide enough to China's economic expansion, we can take such moanings lightly.

 

[Thorough Pro]

Depends on what your 'expectations" are, and they might not be "perfect" from other party's perspective

Diplomat don't just WALK OFF an official meeting. They are called Diplomat for a reason. Especially it is for a high end state visit.

The Chinese diplomat was at fault here, the diplomat should have resolve the issue with the chief of security and the British ambassador either publicly or private for whatever the issue he had. Threaten the trip is off and walk off is quite rude not just for diplomat, but basically in any given situation.

You don't walk off a meeting with a business partner, you don't walk off a meeting in school meet. If you do, then you are being rude. And the queen was right to call that Chinese diplomat being rude for that reason.

It's funny how some member here think this is ok as long as Chinese is pumping money in the UK, it's never okay to be rude, no matter how much money you had, try having a rich brag slap you in the face with money and tell me it's not rude.

Here are the conversation between the Queen and Commander D'Orsi

Then what would you call this, "the lizard of blacks"?
