A beautiful collection celebrating the Queen's humour, with amusing
quotations and stories about royal life. When thinking of the
Queen, our first image is one of dignity and authority. She is the
very definition of majesty: the British monarch, the Supreme
Governor of the Church of England and the head of the Commonwealth.
But as anyone who knows her will tell you, in person she has a
wicked sense of humour: * Occasionally unintentional (when meeting
guitar legend Eric Clapton she enquired 'Have you been playing a
long time?') * Sometimes cannily astute ('I have to be seen to be
believed') * At times downright silly (nicely demonstrated when
staff at Balmoral discovered the Queen jumping up and down with
glee exclaiming 'I've won, I've won!' after hearing that England
had beaten Australia in the cricket) ... the Queen's sense of
humour is like no other. Revealing a side of the Queen's
personality that the public rarely see, this joyous book is a
timely celebration of royal humour as Elizabeth II succeeds
Victoria as Britain's longest-serving monarch.
