The Queen receives 2,000 pints of lager in Windsor Castle mix-up

A lorry carrying 2,000 pints of lager destined for a pub called the Windsor Castle was delivered to the Queen's residence by mistake.

The 12 barrels of lager were delivered to the real Windsor Castle after they were ordered for England's football match with Croatia.
Royal staff had no record of the order and turned the delivery away.
They eventually made it it to the pub of the same name, which is five miles away in Maidenhead, but the delivery was three hours late.
Pub manager Misko Coric said: "The delivery was late and we were getting worried. At first we thought the driver may have had an accident or something, but then the officer informed us that he was calling from the real Windsor Castle and had a rather confused delivery driver with him.
"I couldn't believe it. I honestly thought it was a hoax but the officer insisted he was genuine and wanted confirmation that we were expecting a delivery."
He added: "It was a silly mistake - these things can happen. The barrels did eventually arrive, about three hours late, so there was no problem.
"We have received mail for the royal household here before but I think this is the first time they have received anything meant for us."
A Windsor Castle spokesman said: "It was very funny. But there's no way the Queen sits down in the evening with a pint."

She probably got upset that it was shitty lager and not proper beer.

I'd like to see what happens if someone dubs their pub or restaurant Chitralada Villa.

Hey, the royals can drink, too.

I doubt it, there has not be a 'Queen of England' for around 300 years.

405 years actually, well thats what google says anyway. If it was 2000 packs of fags she wouldnt have sent them back. I heard she likes roll ups in silver Rizzla.

I'm on Rizla blue and never seen silver...have I been living a sheltered life, or are they exclusive like her canastra cards and whatever else is made specially for queens?

Scuse the name dropping but I (with some beefy looking mates) joined her convoy once, right behind her Rolls...SB or whoever's pretending to protect her ass thought we were part of them - till I thought better of actually entering Buck House...then was stopped in a flurry of drama on Park Lane by a load of guys with no sense of humour at all.
