The monarch was chatting to Metropolitan Police commander, Lucy D'Orsi at a garden party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
D'Orsi was introduced as the officer in charge of security for the visit, to which the Queen replied: "Oh, bad luck." She added: "They were very rude to the ambassador."
The Police commander described the visit as "quite a testing time" and claimed Chinese officials had at one point "walked out" on both her and Woodward, telling them "the trip was off".
