Comedian ‘burnt’ Princess Anne with tea
Speaking on the Where There’s a Will There’s a Wake with host Mel Giedroyc, Daniel opened up about the incident. It reportedly occurred while he was working at a fancy event.
“I burned Princess Anne once,” he confessed during the chat.
She leapt into the air, screamed, turned around.
The 31-year-old explained that he was “carrying a pot of hot tea at some very fancy event” when he worked as a waiter. However, his own clumsiness led to the painful incident.
According to the comedian, he spun “too quickly” and accidentally poured “truly, scaldingly boiling hot tea all down the back of Princess Anne’s bare legs”.
“She leapt into the air, screamed, turned around,” he then said, revealing that the Princess Royal let out a “blood-curdling scream”.
He added that the royal may have sworn, too.

Daniel then continued, explaining that he had profusely apologised to the royal.
Luckily, Daniel had a saviour, who, mistakenly, believed he had been the cause of the accident.
“Thankfully, a man thought he had knocked me – he hadn’t – but he took the blame,” Daniel said.
The guest also tried to minimise the incident by explaining: “It’s just water.”
“Yes, well, it was rather warm,” the Princess Royal reportedly replied.
