The Queen is no longer working with her personal bra fitter

Rigby & Peller, the luxury lingerie company that has been fitting the Queen with bras since 1960, has lost its royal warrant.

The news comes following the release of book ‘Storm in a D Cup’ last March by its former director June Kenton, in which visits to Buckingham Palace were mentioned.

Though it is not known if the two events are connected, Kenton is said to be “very sad” about the decision.

Rigby & Peller, which had held the royal warrant since 1960, said it was “deeply saddened” to confirm it had been cancelled.

Mrs Kenton was a regular visitor to Buckingham Palace in the 70s and 80s, serving members of the Royal Family including the Queen, the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.

She told the BBC: “I’m very sad Buckingham Palace took exception to the story – it’s a kind and gentle story about what went on in my life.

“I only ever said I went there, not what happened. I have never, ever spoken about what I do there with her, or the Queen Mother or Princess Margaret.”

Buckingham Palace told Telegraph it did not “comment on individual companies”.

The news comes as the Queen is set to give a rare glimpse into her royal life, including having to wear a crown so heavy she must keep her head lifted for fear of breaking her neck.

Her majesty was opening up about the perilous task of crown-wearing in a new BBC documentary ‘The Coronation’ in which she discusses her own personal memories of the event.

Describing how the crown was altered ever so slightly from when her father wore it, the Queen goes on to discuss with Alistair Bruce about the tricky topic of balancing a jewel-laden crown on your head.

“You have to keep your head very still,” Bruce remarked, as the duo discussed the Imperial State Crown and watched footage of the 1953 day.

“Yes,” the Queen replied. “And you can’t look down to read the speech you have to take the speech up.

“Because if you did your neck would break, it would fall off.

“So there are some disadvantages to crowns, but otherwise they’re quite important things.”

The programme, a one-hour documentary, forms part of the Royal Collection series, which also includes the Queen’s personal footage and voiceover remarks reveals, “a more informal mood behind the scenes”.

The Coronation will be on BBC One at 20:00 on Sunday 14 January.
