Two reasons Paul Burrell convinced late Queen to give him a job by hiding bizarre item in his pocket.

A Royal butler who served Queen Elizbaeth for more than decade has revealed the mysterious item he hid in his pockets which helped land him a job at Buckingham Palace.

Paul Burrell said the late Queen was a fan of his after her beloved corgis warmed to him, and it eventually led to an 11-year stint with the monarch, before working for Charles and Diana. However, he’s since confessed that when she asked to have a meeting with him a year after he became a regular staff member at the palace, he hid sausages in his pockets to get on the pooches’ good side.

“That morning in the staff canteen we had sausages for breakfast,” he explained. “I wrapped two up in a paper napkin and put them into my tailcoat pocket. I thought ‘she’s got dogs ’. Went upstairs, knocked on the door, she said ‘Come in’.

The butler gave more details on the pairs conversation and his relationship with her dogs, the Daily Star reports. He added: “She said ‘You’re Paul’. I said ‘Yes, Your Majesty’, and I bowed. She said ‘Do you like dogs?’ I said ‘I love dogs’. She said ‘Well let’s see if they like you’. So she handed me all the leashes.
