I just wish she’d bring a few of the corgis- specifically, the ones that bite. I read somewhere that one of them once bit Prince Philip.

Oh, and a non-biting one for me, too…

Too bad her mother could never teach her how to dress. Mum had so much class; this one’s always been just plain dowdy, even when she was younger.

You have to admire the way she resolutely sticks to the same style of clothes she has worn for the past forty years. There must be some wizened old dressmaker somewhere who stays in business solely by making outfits for Her Maj., because nobody else is gonna buy 'em.
