JAMES MARTIN: 'MY LUNCH DATE WITH THE QUEEN'
There’s not much that fazes TV chef, James Martin. He’s conquered live TV, hung out with Hollywood stars and even competed in Strictly Come Dancing. But there was a day when James was temporarily speechless. “I was invited to Buckingham Palace,” he recalls. “I presumed it was a three seater reception job but when I got there, it was just six for lunch in the dining room, the Queen, Prince Philip, me and three others! What on earth was a farmer’s boy from the moors doing having lunch with the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh? Then things got even stranger. One of Her Majesty’s staff whispered to me that the Queen felt she hadn’t had the chance to have a proper conversation with me so I was invited to another room after lunch for a chat!
