Beschreibung
<p><b>A beautiful collection celebrating the Queens humour, with amusing quotations and stories about royal life</b>.<br><br>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<b>wicked sense of humour</b>:<br><br>* Occasionally <b>unintentiona</b>l (when meeting guitar legend Eric Clapton she enquired Have you been playing a long time?)<br><br>* Sometimes <b>cannily astute</b> (I have to be seen to be believed)<br><br>* At times <b>downright silly</b> (nicely demonstrated when staff at Balmoral discovered the Queen jumping up and down with glee exclaiming Ive won, Ive won! after hearing that England had beaten Australia in the cricket)<br><br>… the Queens <b>sense of humour is like no other</b>. <br><br>Revealing a side of the Queens personality that the public rarely see, this joyous book is a timely <b>celebration of royal humour </b>as Elizabeth II succeeds Victoria as Britains longest-serving monarch.</p>
