Mr McGrady also said that Gordon Ramsay could never be a chef at Buckingham Palace “because of his ego”.

Instead of picking out her own clothes and putting them on like a commoner, Queen Elizabeth has a team of people to assist her with those menial tasks. “The Queen has to have her outfits brought down to her; all her clothes are kept on the top floor,” Burrell told Yahoo UK.
