bjarvis: (Elizabeth II)
[personal profile] bjarvis
Suppose you were out on the lake ice fishing somewhere in northern Saskatchewan when your cell phone rings & you discover that Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, is about to pop by unexpectedly on a tour. Where do you turn to determine what to wear? Here's a handy guide.

You're welcome.

PS. Don't call her Liz or Betty. She hates that.

True story.

Oh, it's SO much easier when Prince Philip comes to call. All he needs is for men to wear a simple business suit.

And he tells jokes. Bad ones. Terrible, horribly politically-incorrect ones.

It's no wonder the Palace doesn't hardly let him out by himself any more.

But he has some majorly cute secret service men.

Yeah, quite the old perv. Best to keep him in storage in the basement of the castle.

In a can't-take-my-eyes-off-the-rolling-train-wreck kind of way, yeah, I guess. He just makes me cringe.

Remind me to tell you the full story some time ... but I can testify that at the event at which I met him, he blissfully blathered on to the assembled audience while all of the protocol people could be detected because they all flinched at once every time he uttered another faux pas. It was highly amusing, and really, he was quite charming despite his train-wreck observations.
