Were they more offended when she gave the Queen a vigorous guy-style backrub? **SURPRIzE MESSAJE!** ---

> [@Baker](#): > > I don’t have the cite, but I remember a visit the Queen made to America, some years ago. She was taken to view some kind of model minority housing project. The lady chosen to recieve her had been told about protocol, and not touching the queen, but instead did as she always did and gave the Queen a big ol’ hug at the door. Elizabeth was said to have a very surprised look on her face. She did, graciously, turn down the offer of a fried chicken dinner the lady had ready, although the hostess later said she hadn’t really expected the Queen would be able to stop for a snack. I loved when that happened. The lady’s name was Alice Frazier. The look on QE2’s face when she gave her a hug was priceless but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be on YouTube. The Obamas were considered the absolute perfect guests when they met the Bocce ambassador, which seems to be the actual specialty of their protocol droid. ---

I’m a bit alarmed that the Secret Service didn’t immediately throw the Queen to the floor facedown and disarm her of that pocketbook. ---

The most amazing thing about the Obama-Royals bonding was the[basketball game](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3600/3421075593_d87a91bef5.jpg?v=0). I’ll bet the President never would have spotted her a H-O if he’d known how cutthroat her HORSE game was. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > Hell, I’m not a subject, but If I ever met the Queen I’d probably bow. How often do you get an opportunity to bow to someone with a straight face? I’d even wear a cape and a rapier for the occasion. It’s not even supposed to be a full bow, just a nod of the head, which you’ll end up doing any way if she’s talking to you, considering her height (5’4"). ---
