DO YOU THINK THE QUEEN...

...knows all about me?

Sure to, dear, but it's time for tea.



One of my favorite royal stories to surface during the recent Jubilee celebrations concerns the Queen Mum being escorted by Noël Coward who – rather too obviously – was taking stock of the uniformed guards standing around.

'I wouldn't if I were you, Noël,' said Her Majesty, 'they count them before they put them out!'
