Lecturer Mags Guest said to the Queen: “We’re using Craig, one of our student nurses, as a patient.”

The Queen smiled as she said: “Sometimes it’s alright, I suppose.”

She laughed when Mrs Guest said: “He gets to spend a day in bed.”

As Craig was given a glass a THE Old Vic theatre has said it “truly apologises” to anyone affected after an internal investigation resulted in 20 people claiming they experienced inappropriate behaviour by former artistic director Kevin Spacey.

The London theatre’s executive director, Kate Varah, said it had been a “dismaying time” that she hoped “will not colour the future of this theatre”.

The theatre’s current chairman, Nick Clarry, issued an apology on behalf of the board of trustees to “all those people who felt unable to speak up at the time”.

Mr Clarry said: “Inappropriate behaviour by anyone working at The Old Vic is completely unacceptable. We will foster a safe and supportive environment without prejudice, harassment or bullying of any sort, at any level. We want anyone who works here to feel confident, valued and proud to be part of The Old Vic family.”

Ms Varah said the theatre apologised to “the people who feel they were affected by this. It’s important to understand there is a new way forward for this organisation.

Of the 56 responses, 20 were personal testimonies alleging inappropriate conduct by Spacey between 1995 and 2013.

Fourteen of the 20 male complainants had been told they should consider going to the police. Three said they had already done so.

Mr Miskella said the allegations related to a “range of behaviour” adding they varied from “behaviour that made people feel uncomfortable to sexually inappropriate behaviour”. Spacey had been invited to participate in the investigation but had not responded, Mr Miskella said.

There had not been widespread knowledge of Spacey’s alleged behaviour and Mr Miskella added: “There were pockets of the Old Vic in which knowledge or suspicion was greater than others, and that did not get escalated.”

Several of the allegations related to the bar and others to creative spaces such as the stage and rehearsal rooms, he said.

It is alleged that more than half of the incidents took place inside the Old Vic theatre, with the others at external locations.
