say who cares about these people and yet - When Queen E. came to NYC for the Bicentennial in '76 I was all "WHO CARES" - but I actually snuck out of work to see her when she arrived in the royal Rolls Royce caravan to take a tour of Bloomingdales. I stood by a cop to make sure no one got in front of me! For anyone who doesn't care (LOL) she wore a 3-piece matching ensemble in a terrible shade of green.

excites many who for some reason place value on hereditary monarchy and the legacy of British Empire. This child is your superior. Kneel before her!
