A British tabloid has settled a legal row with Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, agreeing to a permanent injunction banning it from making any further revelations about her household.

The Daily Mirror newspaper agreed to hand over all unpublished photographs and documents, destroy any draft unpublished stories and not to reprint the previous articles.

The paper last week published intimate details of life at Buckingham Palace obtained by their undercover reporter Ryan Parry, who managed to get a job as a royal footman with false references.

This exposed the security lapse at Buckingham Palace and embarrassed the royals on the eve of a state visit by United States president George W. Bush last week.

The Queen has obtained a temporary legal ban on the tabloid running any more stories on the palace and the injunction is due to expire on Monday afternoon.
