THE Queen has stuck the boot into London’s bid to host the 2012 Olympics by saying she thinks PARIS will win.

She made the astonishing remark at a Buckingham Palace reception.

The Queen also claimed that many Londoners don’t want the Olympics.

Her remarks will be a boost for rivals France — and a severe setback for London’s £2.4billion battle to host the Games for the first time since 1948.

The Queen dropped her clanger as she spoke to teenage volunteer worker Amran Hussain.
