UK PM: Queen 'purred' after Scottish vote
LONDON - Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron has been overheard describing his nervousness about the Scotland referendum and how Queen Elizabeth II appeared relieved when he called to tell her the result.
The leader was being filmed chatting with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in New York when microphones picked up what they said. The video showing the conversation was broadcast Tuesday on Sky News.
Cameron was heard describing how the queen "purred down the line" after he called to tell her "it's all right, it's OK" after Thursday's referendum, in which Scots rejected independence and chose to stay with the United Kingdom.
