" I have to say, The Queen 's team won and I wasn't on The Queen 's team, " she added.
Mrs Browne Said of The meetings, you " always knew when The Queen was going to leave because her chair went back slightly, lipstick came out of The Handbag , she put her lipstick on and I think that was The cue to The Lady in waiting that we were getting ready to leave".

" We all just had such a wonderful time. "
