The pair were discussing how big an event the coronation was for the UK with Whitehall joking that the entire ceremony and weekend was something akin to a "Tory Glastonbury."

Winkleman then quipped that it was a "Tory Christmas" which got a laugh out of Whitehall.

It should be noted that Winkleman's half-sister Sophie Winkleman, aka Big Suze from Peep Show, is married to Lord Frederick Windsor.
