I really wonder how is active this great Queen .
I think she really deserve this appreciation and loyalty that she has.
That is definitly the perfect example of self and duty respect.

A dollar a day keeps the Queen

QUEEN Elizabeth cost each UK taxpayer 62 pence ($1.55) a year, with the overall cost of running the royal family increasing above the rate of inflation, Buckingham Palace said today.

Two more articles which apart from anything else show slightly different attitudes.

EXCLUSIVE: MI5 FOILS ROYAL BLOODBATH PLOT

As Britain remembers 7/7 bomb carnage.. Terror bid to kill Queen's 3 sons
An evil plot to assassinate the Queen's three sons has been dramatically foiled by security chiefs, The People can reveal today.

I put it in here, since it concerned several members of the Royal Family. And, I am not sure about the credibility of this article.

This was in the newspaper on Sunday but i don't remember it being in any of the others and there have been no "follow-up" articles to my knowledge. You would think it a credible story given how high profile the people involved are and that the article has quotes from the police in it but it doesn't have any comments from Buckingham Palace or Clarence House in it to give it any more credibility.

From HELLO
The Queen has always worked hard to recognise the efforts of those people who best embody the spirit of Britishness, but it's not just human beings who deserve the occasional pat on the back, as the monarch discovered when she hosted a garden party in Buckingham Palace this week....................

Another silly hat from Sophie but Her Majesty looks very funky and flowery. A new outfit I believe. And I love that hat.

Isn't that the same weird hat Sophie was wearing at Ascot? It certainly looks like it.

I agree with you about HM. She looks very smart.

It is the same hat that Sophie wore to Ascot, actually the entire ensemble is the same (From Getty Images): http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...4&d=1150829041
^I think the huge flower on the hat distracts the whole outfit

There must be a "Mad Hatter" lose in England and the BRF employs him. Although, I think Camilla's hat looked very nice, much nicer than many of the other oversized monstrosities that plop on her head. Sophie's hat here and at the Trooping of the Color was just awful and the York girls have the most atrocious hats. There respective milliner's should be exiled. On the other hand there are mirrors available.
