David Cameron has contacted Buckingham Palace to offer his apologies after he made a blunder by saying that the Queen "purred" with joy at the Scottish independence referendum results.

The UK Prime Minister, 47, said that he regretted the comment he made while talking to media tycoon Michael Bloomberg at a trade fair, was very "embarrassed," and would apologize to her highness, Queen Elizabeth II, in person too when they meet next, the Mirror reported.

His remarks were condemned by Labour's shadow Defence minister Kevan Jones and Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond.

Cameron said that though it was a private conversation, he shouldn't have said what he said and won't make the mistake again.
