Davies claims Queen swore in conversation

Ray Davies has told GQ that the Queen swore during an MBE conversation about his mugging, though Buckingham Palace will not discuss private conversations.

Ex Kink Ray Davies has claimed that The Queen used a swear word during a conversation he had with the monarch whilst accepting an MBE last year, which seems quite unlikely. Not because we here at CMU think The Queen never swears, she most probably does in private, but we're hard pushed to believe that she'd do it at a public ceremony.

Anyway, Davies told GQ that the Queen, in reference to an incident in which he'd been mugged a couple of months earlier, said: "I hope they catch the bastards who shot you". Whether it's true, or if Davies made it up, or misheard her will remain a mystery, as a palace spokesperson said they won't discuss a private conversation.
