| David Cameron's revelation that he sought help from the Queen ahead of the Scottish independence vote in 2014 has caused displeasure at Buckingham Palace, a source says. | |
| The former PM told the BBC he had asked whether the Queen could "raise an eyebrow" about the prospect of Scotland voting for independence. | |
| The Queen later said people should "think carefully about the future". | |
| Buckingham Palace has made no official comment on Mr Cameron's remarks. | |
| The revelations were made in a two-part BBC documentary in which the former PM reflects on his time in Downing Street. | |
| What was discussed was not "anything that would be in any way improper... but just a raising of the eyebrow even... a quarter of an inch", he said. | |
| The source told the BBC that "it serves no one's interests" for conversations between the PM and the Queen to be made public . | |
| "It makes it very hard for the relationship to thrive," they added. |
