On May 5, as part of a six-day trip to the United States, Queen Elizabeth 11 and her husband Prince Philip will attend the Kentucky Derby. Contrary to popular belief, the Queen has a good sense of humor and beneath the stoic, often poker face, lurks a court jester just waiting to come out. She would like to share some home grown humor as a prelude to her visit.
It’s a tough job but someone has to do it!

The Queen maintains the status quo by keeping her white gloves on!

Her knowledge of guns is quite extensive and she has undertaken the task of personally providing the security on many trips .Thus ensuring that Prince Philip and her loyal subjects do exactly as they are told.
She set the tone for Christmas gifts this year and had this very personal Royal Calendar made of different members of the royal family showing their more flirtatious side. “Tony Blair loved his copy†she said playfully
While touring Buckingham Palace in 2002, Joan Rivers headed straight for the gift shop to purchase dozens of “God Save The Queen” coffee mugs. When the shop’s clerk gave her a strange look, Joan was quick to explain the purchase: “These,” she said, “will be great for all my gay friends!”
And what do you do?
