Cherie Blair, the wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, recently made an appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno”. Mrs. Blair was there to promote her memoirs entitled “Speaking For Myself”.

Mrs. Blair revealed that her fourth child, Leo, now 8, was conceived at the Queen’s Balmoral residence after she left her contraception at home because she was embarrassed that a maid would find it.

“I thought, ‘I’m 44′, so some things I left out of that bag,” said Cherie.

Apparently she wasn’t  too embarrassed to discuss that fact in front of millions of television viewers and a live audience, though.

Then, while attempting to explain the role of Queen Elizabeth II’s husband Prince Philip, Cherie put her foot in it.

“…The First Lady is the wife of the head of state. So on that basis the spouse of our head of state is actually Prince Philip. So I suppose you could say Prince Philip is really the First Lady of Britain.”

While Prince Philip would probably get a chuckle out of that, I think that it’s pretty sad for the wife of a world leader – former or not -  to try to look “hip” and cool for the Americans by talking about private matters and taking a crack at Prince Philip. I realize that Mrs. Blair was referencing what is written in her book when speaking about her child, but let the public take that bit of information in personally if they decide to buy the book.

Why can’t she just make a quiet exit?

If you’re like me, you enjoy “The Simpsons” on occasion and may even go see the movie. In honor of the movie, the official website gives you a chance to create your own likeness in the Simpson world. Even Tony Blair was immortalized in 2D’s greatest TV show! Below, MandysRoyalty herself!
