A FIENDISH plot by those dastardly Russians to eavesdrop on the Royal Family appears to have been foiled by our intrepid secret service agents.
An electric teapot presented to the Queen as a goodwill gesture nearly 20 years ago has been removed from Balmoral – as a security precaution.
It was feared that the ornate 2ft samovar standing in the corner of the drawing room in the late Queen Mother's house on the Aberdeenshire estate could have a listening device hidden inside it.
After a recent security sweep, spooks were concerned that the samovar could have been bugging not only the Royal Family's most intimate conversations, but also listening into the Queen's discussions with prime ministers and world leaders.
