So did the Queen and my mother! My mother’s hair was redder, but she had the Exact Same Hairstyle as the Queen (except for about six months in 1978, when my mother tried a different cut).

When I see the Queen, she kinda reminds me of my mum, who’s passed away. I like the old gal, too, though I suspect it wouldn’t be easy at all to be one of her children.
