3:37Now PlayingQueen Elizabeth was horrified by police conduct at the Battle of Orgreave and described footage of mounted officers charging into picketing miners as “awful”.
Her reaction to the incident during the miners’ strike was disclosed by Julian Haviland, former political editor of The Times, in an interview with Times Radio this summer before his death this month. It will be broadcast this morning, just after 11am.
Haviland, who worked for The Times between 1981 and 1986, also said that Margaret Thatcher, the prime minister at the time, would drink a large scotch or two before her weekly audience with the Queen, saying she was “the only person in the world of whom Margaret Thatcher was frightened”.
In the interview, Haviland said he confirmed the story about the Queen’s horror at the events at Orgreave, but it was dropped as incrimination of the sources was likely.
