London (dpa)-The Queen has imposed a palace ban on the use of mobile phones by her servants while they are on duty, after a barrage of calls disturbed a recent banquet held for foreign dignitaries, the Sun reported on Monday.
Quoting a Buckingham Palace source, the Sun said a series of royal family meals had been interrupted by trilling mobile phones, some playing customized melodies like the Hawaii Five-O theme tune and Colonel Bogey.
The Queen had initially laughed at this, but the final straw came when several flunkeys phones rang during a major banquet held for foreign dignitaries.
The ban applies to staff on duty at Buckingham Palace, the royal summer retreat at Balmoral in Scotland and Sandringham in Norfolk.
"It is fair to say the Queen was not amused when the phones started ringing incessantly, " a palace source told the Sun.
"The first few times the mobiles went off the royals thought it was a bit of a laugh, but the noise and interruptions became irritating as more and more staff acquired them. "
"Senior courtiers have also complained of the peace and quiet of the palace being disrupted by the sound of the Hawaii Five- O theme echoing down the corridors, " he told the Sun.
The Times reports the Queen is looking for fresh young female budgerigars to reinvigorate the royal stock after generations of inbreeding.
Any old budgie would not do, the Times said, quoting Graham Stone, 44, a gardener at Windsor Castle in Berkshire, who bears the title Keeper of the Royal Budgerigars.
The Queen’s birds are of a free-flying variety, brightly coloured in green, blue and yellow, much smaller and faster than the caged domestic bird, with entirely different instincts and absolutely no vocabulary.
As Princess Elizabeth, the Queen was given a pair of budgies by an official in the 1930s. The flock grew to such an extent that today there about 100.
"They seem to have lost the vigour of breeding in the past two years. They haven’t had any fresh blood for decades. We lose a few to the sparrowhawks and kestrels in Windsor Home Park and now have too many males and not enough fresh females, Sone said.
