Queen Elizabeth has been caught calling Chinese officials “very rude” by her own cameraman in an incident that won’t do much to help relations between China and the UK.

The footage was released to broadcasters and appeared online overnight.
It comes in the wake of footage showing Prime Minister David Cameron referring to Nigeria and Afghanistan as “fantastically corrupt countries" in conversation with the Queen ahead of the international anti-corruption summit this week.
