Queen's piper on the most surprising songs requested at royal dinner parties

The Queen’s former piper has recalled his “surreal” time working at Buckingham Palace - including a dinner party where he played movie soundtracks for the royal guests

.

The custom was first introduced by his great-great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, who brought it back to England after enjoying it on a stay with the Marquess of Breadalbane at Taymouth Castle. "The first time when I was appointed, she turned around and said to me ‘Look, the only reason you got this job is because you’re the same height as me' and then she just walked away.

The professional bagpiper also spoke of the moment he accidentally called the late Queen ‘Your Royal Highness’ in Windsor during Royal Ascot week.
