Son of Queen’s former aide-de-camp in Sri Lanka rallies to her defence
Monarch had enduring friendship with Maj Gen Anton Muttukumaru, who worked for her in 1950s
Maj Gen Anton Muttukumaru was a barrister, soldier and diplomat who loved collecting walking sticks. He was known for being charming and shrewd, had a talent for mimicry, and was once driven to Ascot to join the Queen because she was too busy enjoying the races to meet him at Buckingham Palace.
Born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Muttukumaru was the Queen’s aide-de-camp in 1954.
