Queen ‘poured ink on herself’ at school in father-like temper tantrum, says expert

Her Majesty the Queen is famous for her stoic manner in public, but one expert says she used to have quite a temper. Ian Lloyd, author of The Queen: 70 Chapters in the Life of Elizabeth II, reveals our monarch had a hot head as a child. In the book - out on April 21 through The History Press - he writes: “Princess Elizabeth had a temper in her schoolroom days, once pouring a bottle of ink over herself, but was successful in masking the trait later on.” Ian believes the Queen is much like her father, King George VI - a shy but sweet man whose stammer made speaking in public a challenge.
