The Queen Fired Her Longtime Royal Bra-Fitter After She Wrote a Juicy Tell-All

Buckingham Palace has terminated a decades-long agreement with luxury lingerie company Rigby & Peller, the BBC reports. Though they wouldn't confirm why, it's probably because longtime royal "corsetiere" June Kenton wrote a tell-all book called Storm in a D-Cup.

Kenton said on Thursday "There's nothing in [the autobiography] that makes you think, 'Oh! That's naughty,'" or to "be upset about," but her dismissal seems to indicate otherwise. Though Kenton insists she would never talk about a customer outside her dressing room, she did apparently detail many of the Queen's opinions on Princess Margaret's taste and some of her interactions with Princess Diana in the book.

One of such interactions, she explains, was not fitting Diana for lingerie, but helping out William and Harry: "I never met Diana's boys, but I used to give her lingerie and swimwear posters for them to put up in their studies at Eton."

Rigby & Peller had held a "royal warrant" with the palace since 1960, as long as Kenton had been working with the Queen. These warrants are marks companies can display to denote their partnerships with the Royal Family. According to TIME, 82-year-old Kenton wept speaking to press about why she lost her right display the royal court of arms at her company.

It's unclear if the Queen will now just go bra-less.
