The Royal Representative

I’ve just been notified by a keen-eyed Ebay fiend that my Royal anniversary stamp covers are being sold.

Let me know if there are any takers! :) This is interesting. [View More]

During the state visit to Turkey, the Queen wore several lovely outfits. Two of my favorites were the pink and the black and cream ensembles. Observe:

Elizabeth always looks exceptionally lovely in bright colors, because they brighten her skin. When she wears white or cream, it enhances her silver hair and she looks very stately. Wonderful choices!

While searching for the BBC’s 1969 program “The Royal Family”, I came across Yahoo! Answers. Someone posted a question which I thought was interesting and should be answered. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Q: An empire is a group of nations with one supreme ruler. The UK contains four countries England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as the Crown Dependencies of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. So would the title Britannic Empress (or something similar) be more fitting for our Queen ???

So I responded.

A: The Empire no longer exists, so therefore she could not be referred to as an Empress. The British Empire became a group of countries called the Commonwealth. Some old colonial countries are still a part of the Commonwealth, but India, for instance, left long ago.

The Queen is known as Elizabeth The Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.

King George VI, the Queen’s father, was the last King-Emperor.

Prince William has been made a Royal Knight of the Garter, the most senior British order of chivalry.

The Prince was officially appointed by his grandmother the Queen at a service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

The Order of the Garter - established by Edward III in 1348 - honours those who have contributed to national life or served the Queen.

See the video at the BBC.

A very happy anniversary to Her Majesty on the occasion of her coronation - June 2, 2008.

See the video at the BBC: Queen in Cumbria. The Queen’s reaction to this man is priceless!

That was disturbing! After you watch the video (post-article), there is a link to the next video, which is the Queen’s visit to Turkey. It is very interesting and leads to further videos. Then some more. Before you know it - if you’re anything like me - two hours of royalty will go by and you realize you need to actually get up and go do errands.

Hillary Clinton, ever the wonderous champion of justice, is now into macho posturing.

“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the president, we will attack Iran (if it attacks Israel),” Clinton said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

“In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them,” she said.

Hil, I think it’s pretty safe to assume that the entire country is fed up with war-mongering, and if Iran wants to launch an attack on Israel, then just let them work it out, ok?

Can you imagine the Queen doing this?

In her “guts for glory” moment to launch herself into presidency, Elizabeth Windsor declared that “If I was president, I would tell that ape-faced Iranian that he could ride his camel back to the cave from whence he came! WAH HA!” [insert majestic pose or gesture here].

That’s just WRONG. Absolutely, totally, wrong. And don’t you just love the quote from Hillary that says ‘In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack […]’ as if the American Presidency lasts an entire decade? It probably will once she gets in and changes the rules.

Time.com presents a photo essay in honor of Her Majesty’s 82nd birthday (they are calling her ‘Her Royal Highness’… faux pas!)

UPDATE: The Time.com words are linked to the photo slideshow, but I was told it wasn’t very easy to find the link that way. So, here is the full link (sorry guys!) to the images:

Also, I noted that they changed the title to read “A Gallery of Images Celebrating Her Majesty’s 82nd birthday”.
