Queen Elizabeth II 'loved it' when things went wrong because it 'spiced her life up', a former aide
Queen Elizabeth II 'loved it' when things went wrong because it 'spiced her life up', a former aide has claimed.
Samantha Cohen spoke fondly of her relationship with the late Queen in an interview with Australian newspaper The Herald Sun.
Ms Cohen served as The Queen's press secretary for 17 years and then as her assistant and private secretary, before stepping away from working for the Royal household in 2019.
Speaking to the newspaper she said: 'The Queen had no ego, she was so comfortable in herself, yet she loved it when things went wrong.'
In particular, the Queen loved it when a 'cake was not cutting' or a 'plaque didn't unveil', she added.

Ms Cohen said the 'best times' were accompanying the Queen on her two royal tours to South Australia and Queensland in 2002 and 2011.
Ms Cohen was nicknamed 'Samantha the Panther' because of her pragmatic attitude and she was enthusiastic about the Royal Family launching a YouTube account when the idea was suggested.
The former aide spoke to the Queen daily and for almost 10 years had her own bedroom at Windsor Castle.
In 2018, Samantha Cohen worked as a private secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the request of the Queen.
It was claimed in Valentine Low's book that Ms Cohen left her position after being treated 'harshly' and because it was like 'working with teenagers', but she would not comment on these claims according to The Herald Sun.
The Duchess of Sussex's team denied the allegation of bullying.

Ms Cohen was once invited to Balmoral for Christmas and said The Queen was a 'special woman' and that she missed her.
Originally from Brisbane in Australia, Ms Cohen started her career as a journalist on the Sunshine Coast Daily in Australia before working for the Australian government.
She is now working as chief of staff for the global chief executive of the mining giant Rio Tinto.
