Queen tell Hamilton not to Race at table

Formula One star Lewis Hamilton who received a summons to join Her Majesty for lunch was rebuked gently by the Monarch for poor table etiquette

London--

He may be a wiz on the racetrack but when Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton was asked to dine with The Queen, speed became a hindrance for the motor star.

Hamilton who received a summons to join Her Majesty for lunch was rebuked gently by the Monarch over his table etiquette.

Thirty-year-old Hamilton who was invited to sit next to The Queen at lunch said on the BBC’s Graham Norton show: “I got invited to a lunch and was sitting next to The Queen. I was excited and started to talk to her but she said, pointing to my left, ‘No you speak that way first and I’ll speak this way and then I’ll come back to you.’”

“She is a sweet woman and we talked about how she spends her weekends, houses and music. She is really cool.”
