UK Deputy PM snubs Queen again

Clegg missed the meeting with the monarch at Buckingham Palace for the fifth time last Tuesday, bringing excuses that he had to catch a flight to Mozambique.

Surprisingly, however, he attended Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons earlier that day.

Chris Grayling, the Conservative Justice Secretary attended the private meeting with the Queen as Clegg, Lord President of the Council sent him in his place.

According to the reports, Clegg’s meetings with the Queen have been awkward since his Lib-Dem colleague Chris Huhne’s resignation from the Privy Council.

Clegg previously sent Andrew Lansley, the Leader of the House of Commons, to represent him in the fourth meeting he had with the British queen in January, saying that he had to attend the House of Lords Constitution Committee in Parliament at exactly the same time.
