I think a lot of people hold interests that they don't really like to share with others for one reason or another. So I don't care what anyone says or thinks about me.... I have always been obsessed with the British monarchy. It may have to do with the fact that I am, in fact, a subject of Her Majesty's realm... I retain citizenship in Canada. Or maybe because of the history and tradition... I love that. Or maybe I just want to be a FREAKIN' PRINCESS! Whatever the reason, I love everything to do with the ol' house of Windsor. I've even seen The Queen more times than I can count (the movie, not HRH.)
So it goes without saying that I'm jazzed for Prince William's upcoming wedding in a month. I have been in my effing GLORY with all the media fodder available to me. Like a pig in slop! Just today there was a Yahoo.com article regarding the royal wave... and I just kept thinking... "above the pearls, below the crown." He he.
I've always wanted to visit England on holiday (there I go with the lingo.) And this would have been THE time to do so. But unless I win the lottery I don't see it happening. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to DVR the whole thing.
So anyway, point of the post is this: the wedding is one month from today and I thought it might be fun, at least for me, to post a little bit about those crazy royals everyday. Trivia, thoughts, etc. So today's Royal tidbit is:
Queen Elizabeth II was made a Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in 1951. That's right, she's an honorary OB-GYN. How'd you like to get a pap from Her Royal Highness??? "Oh dear, where did I leave my solid gold speculum?"
"Solid gold speculum" .... LMAO
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you were interested in the monarchy. I think I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum - I would be furious if my tax dollars supported a family that had no purpose. But that's just me. We all have our vices, I'm no exception!!!
I definitely don't like that they are supported by tax dollars either. (Or should I say tax "pounds.") But everything other than that I find fascinating. I don't know, maybe because they aren't the royal family over here. Maybe if I actually lived in England I'd be more annoyed with the situation. As an "outsider looking in" sort of thing...
