Sometimes I think the British tabloids just want to tear the monarchy down.
Sun's headlines today blare out that the Queen is a Burger Queen and leads you to believe that the Queen has bought a McDonalds franchise. When you read the article you find out that the Crown Estates has bought some land that a McDonalds sits on. Talk about misleading. This story has hit some of the German mags too.

I believe that as well. I don't think that all the editors are anti-monarchy necessarily, but they all have to sell papers; and they do that by printing things that are interesting to the most number of people. A lot of people love to see the High and Mighty torn down, and so they buy the papers with the most scandalous headlines.
However, the tabs are gradually kiling their golden goose.  Quote:

According to the Telegraph and the Times the Queen (well the Royal Household) is to buy a private jet for royal air travel. It comes as the Government is loooking to remove the responsibility of flying VIPs from the RAF.
Queen to buy £10 million private jet - Telegraph Drop it orf at the palace: Queen shops for own jet - Times Online Is it just me who wonders if the Government has asked the royal household to buy the jet so that it can distance itself from any bad PR that may arise from its purchase and then its use?

Lovely pictures iceflower, thank you.
I always feel sorry for HM and the Duke, the robes they have to wear on occasions such as this, are normally very heavy!
