Daria_S said:William's admiration, love and respect for his Granny literally shines through his words. On the other hand, I do love the fact that Her Majesty and Prince Philip enjoy some occasional royal bloopers. They certainly break up the monotony of things. I can also imagine how Philip's humor provides a distraction for Her Majesty if she's feeling nervous or stressed. They're definitely well matched.

A Monarch of simple tastes: From Special K to jam sandwiches, royal chef reveals the Queen's dining habitsIt's not all shaking hands and cutting ribbons for the for the Queen. The monarch is fond of a drink or two and, like her mother before her, she adores Dubonnet.

An interesting article, but I was more interested in the picture accompanying it. Anyone recognises this hairpiece? And we thought it was new!Special K, jam sandwiches and chocolate cake are some of the Queen's favourite foods, according to her former personal chef. Darren McGrady, who worked at the Buckingham Palace kitchens for fifteen years, has revealed that away from the spotlight the 86-year-old British Monarch is a woman of simple tastes.
