The audiences are entirely private, with no officials present or notes kept. Mr Cameron said the private sessions are extremely useful, and spoke of the Queen’s useful and incisive contributions.

The monarch shows “extraordinary sharpness” in her assessment of events, he said, describing the audiences as “a conversation not a monologue.”

In particular, the Queen’s extensive foreign travels, including more than 200 official overseas visits, make her an invaluable source of advice on international affairs, he said.

“There’s hardly a country she doesn’t know about, hardly a head of state she hasn’t met.”

Although most of the weekly briefing concerns foreign policy and military matters, Mr Cameron said they also discuss domestic issues and the politics of the day.

“With her huge experience, she does seem to cut through the fluff and nonsense to the key common sense points that really matter,” he said.
