Default Re: The Queen's telephone.

Quote:
Apparently when connecting the Queen Mother to The Queen the telephonist had to say "Your Majesty? Your Majesty, your Majesty".
Yes the Queen mum never dialed anyone she always had an operator to do that, they had an operator on standby (in shifts) in case she got lonely and wanted a chat with someone. The operator had to be able to answer as soon as the old queen got the handset to her ear, I forget how many seconds that was but my manager was the one who tested that too.
