This is a much better looking portrait than that last one I saw where the Queen looked so old and crabby.  Quote:
What does that mean? Does he own both Harrods & Tesco? Just trying to understand your comment, Elspeth. Last edited by HRH Kimetha; 11-27-2006 at 01:43 AM. |

No, he just owns Harrods. The Queen used to get her puddings from Harrods, apparently, but when Mohamed Fayed started accusing Prince Philip of having had Diana murdered, the members of the royal family let it be known that their royal warrants for Harrods wouldn't be renewed when they expired (so he took all the "by appointment" badges off the front of the building immediately - the Queen's, the Queen Mother's, Prince Philip's, and Prince Charles's) and she stopped buying stuff there. Next thing we heard, her Christmas puddings were being ordered from Tesco. I assume that if Fayed hadn't had his little run-in with the royal family over Diana, the Queen would still be shopping at Harrods.

On the pudding issue, it's interesting to note that this last Sunday was Stir-Up Sunday, the day that we traditionally make Christmas puddings. At the Palace, they make puddings for every member of staff which the Queen presents to them. She goes down to the kitchens and makes a wish as she stirs the mix, as is the tradition. I find that very sweet.

I read in Sarah Bradford's book on Diana that she used to jokingly call Prince Phillip "Stavros". I found it rather amusing!

Well, at least she recognised Philips Greek roots, as his in-laws did their best to make the ugly Greek goose a beautiful English swan :)
