Princess Anne “screamed” after a comedian spilt hot tea on her legs, according to a comedian.<\/p>\n

Daniel Foxx disclosed the embarrassing encounter with Princess Anne, which occurred during his university days.<\/p>\n

He revealed on Mel Giedroyc’s “Where There’s a Will There’s a Wake” podcast about how he accidentally scalded the Princess Royal with boiling tea.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred whilst Foxx was working as a waiter at what he believes was a Woodland Trust function. Speaking on the podcast, he confessed: “I burned Princess Anne once.”<\/p>\n

The comedian explained that he was carrying a pot of hot tea at the “very fancy event” when his clumsiness led to a painful mishap for the King’s sister.<\/p>\n

According to Foxx, he “span too quickly” and poured “truly, scaldingly boiling hot tea all down the back of Princess Anne’s bare legs”.<\/p>\n

The royal’s reaction was immediate and dramatic. “She leapt into the air, screamed, turned around,” Foxx recounted, describing her response as a “blood-curdling scream”.<\/p>\n

The comedian suggested the Princess may have even sworn during the incident, telling Giedroyc that “maybe a swear came out”.<\/p>\n

The shocking moment drew the attention of everyone at the charity function. “Obviously, everyone in this function, I think it was the Woodland Trust or something, turned to stare at me,” Foxx recalled.<\/p>\n

The mortified comedian apologised profusely, saying “I’m so sorry”, but found an unexpected saviour when another guest mistakenly believed he had caused the accident.<\/p>\n

“Thankfully, a man thought he had knocked me – he hadn’t – but he took the blame,” Foxx revealed. The man attempted to minimise the incident by explaining it was “just water”.<\/p>\n

Princess Anne’s response demonstrated her characteristic understatement. According to Foxx, she replied: “Yes, well, it was rather warm.”<\/p>\n

Princess Anne is regularly referred to as the hardest-working member of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

The Royal Family <\/p>\n

The incident represents just one of countless events the Princess Royal attends as Britain’s hardest-working royal, with over 400 patronages to her name.<\/p>\n

The Princess recently marked her 75th birthday year by hosting more than 216 guests from 111 different organisations at Buckingham Palace’s ballroom for a special charities forum.<\/p>\n

Colonel John Boyd, her Private Secretary, told attendees: “As you are aware, the princess has given decades of time and support to more than 400 charities and patronages.”<\/p>\n

In her address to the gathering, Anne displayed her typical modesty, telling guests: “I’m not here because this was my choice. You very kindly asked me to become patron of your organisations, so it’s an honour for me to have all of you here.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Anne “screamed” after a comedian spilt hot tea on her legs, according to a comedian.
