Queen Elizabeth the Second celebrates her 70th year on the throne of England this Sunday. It's called the Platinum Jubilee and we are all in on the celebrations including our purchase of this piece of unusual memorabilia:
(jubilee is spelled wrong but an Inverted Jenny this is not)
The Queen has met with every British Prime Minister since Winston Spencer Churchill and every US President since she assumed the throne BUT ONE.
Trivia: which POTUS did not meet QEII? (hint- it's not the last one). And don't be technical, she is meeting with J Biden this weekend for tea.
Some fun facts:
Royal protocol prohibits the monarch from eating anything with her fingers except afternoon tea. Which means that she eats a hamburger (no bun for her), bananas, pineapples, and grapes with a knife and fork just the way George Costanza ate a Snickers Bar.
Check back over the weekend for more fun QEII facts including Rumpole's life long obsession to become an OBE.
