David Cameron: Queen ‘Purred’ When She Heard Scotland Vote Outcome

Chris Jackson/Getty Images(LONDON) — Does the Queen of England purr? Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron says so.
Cameron was caught on camera saying the Queen “purred down the line” out of happiness when he called to tell her that Scotland voted last week to remain part of the United Kingdom.
Cameron was describing how nervous he was about the possibility Scotland would become an independent country in a conversation with former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, broadcast Tuesday on Sky News.
Upon learning that Scotland wouldn’t be seceding after all, he called Queen Elizabeth II to relay the good news, Cameron told Bloomberg.
“It should never have been that close. It wasn’t in the end,” Cameron said, adding a joke about the stress the polls brought him.
“I’ve said I want to find these polling companies and I want to sue them for my stomach ulcers because of what they put me through,” he added. “It was very nervous.”
