Queen Elizabeth to quit driving in public after Prince Philip's crash The Queen is reportedly giving up driving on public roads following Prince Philip's car crash two months ago. Her Majesty is the only person in the UK allowed to drive without a licence, but agreed to stop driving on the advice of her security team, according to The Sunday Times. Instead she will be chauffeured on public roads. While protocol dictates the Queen has to be driven to public engagements, despite her age up until now she still gets into the driver's seat to get around her estates and for private events. The Queen, who turns 93 this month, would have been reluctant to give up the privilege. -50% (with pictures) www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=12218194 |

Happy belated 97th, old boy 😉 I missed seeing how you would have dequaffed that sausaged tails last week as only you could, alas on top of my troubles my 98yr old friend and my dog's only bacon supplier (since I've been through the "change", you know) and your birthday mate departed sadly. Lilian Grant. I'd given her at Christmas my Hermes scarf - the same as my Bestie's - shows you how much I adored her. I'm droning on. Stick around, dear man. The world would be so less funny without you. Big hug.

www.noblesseetroyautes.com/5eme-journee-a-ascot-2019/Yesterday was exciting to watch Blue Point only four days after another win. My bestie handed the honours but that cup was a little anticlimactic IMO  She looked lovely in understated green. So many hats to look at, but I have yet to see a favourite. Oh well.

Bestie, if you want to sidestep Trump's blackmail, make a deal with your own in exchange for diplomatic immunity. It's galling that Trump - who was an active participant in Epstein's circle - should be the one to hold sway here. Trust your own people first. It's clear Andrew was roped in, for this day. He needs to atone, to be sure. Leave it to your people by way of your government to decide what he needs to endure for his failings. You on the other hand should not need to be subjected to this sham orchestrated by that club of perverts. Some background, by this lovely enough author/activist: youtu.be/0kC-lWPb6CA |

The Christmas message was dextrous. Dextrous, and seemingly painstaking. It's unfair to have walked a straight line in life, only for offspring to leave a person, in their twilight, worried about posterity. I think it's a good move to put Anne more front and center. Who else can relate about visceral personal sacrifice? Everyone else seems to have wanted their cake and eaten it too. And some in abhorrent ways. Nevertheless, there's still time to make more significant gestures that will transcend how close the marasm has manifested. If Andrew loved his mother back as much as she loves him, he would put himself in her shoes as a parent first (hard, considering his issues seems to have been to rebel and take for granted) and he would do the honourable thing of seeking treatment in a sex rehab, stop victimizing all the women in his life and be a man. And fade away, to not drag this out and mar his mother's legacy.

{ 🤗 (big hug. It's not fair. I know. They don't know what it does to you. You thought grandkids would be easier to handle. They will learn. They'll learn it's not easy, and that reinventing the wheel would still never get them to where you are and that they should appreciate it more, be more enthusiastic. What can I tell you? Tea? }

Sorry to be late for "tea", bestie, but on one hand I'm trying to detangle my own situation and what with your ninja-esque handling of things this week, you scare me a bit 😁. Anyway, a pétard mouillé later..., there are a few trademark suits ahead. This may be where H&M will see the upside of having the firm behind them rather than sink their earnings in frivolous lawsuits. And Harry may realize he's already a global star by virtue of his birthright and being progressive is a team effort. We shouldn't be punished.

Dear Bestie, isn't it nice to get comfort, amid all the cake-ism, from Camilla who says she's happy with "Princess Consort"? How utterly refreshing right now.

This is why the woman is who she is. 👏🏻 Take that, Loose Women. Ahem. Her Majesty putting the lèse aside, and ready anytime to have Harry et famille back into the fold on their own time. It's probably a lifesaving measure too, not to exaggerate. I think she's handling this call for help with brio, so no one can ever mount in Harry's mind that he isn't wanted in any way. The woman can still surprise, and good on Harry for being open. Sigh. www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/prince-harry-the-queen-talk-windsor-castle-a4376871.html |

(...aaand the "senior" is out of self-isolation)
Meanwhile the Palace has scooped up H&M's PR person in a very agile move. I mean, if there's going to be a constant barrage of attacks, it's good to know the ground and the weapons. As to why Harry would target his grandmom is a mystery to do with authority, I suppose. When you're down to blaming your one supporter for choices you've made and their repercussions by whining you were "forced" to give up this or that... 🙄 You're lucky no one is there to give you a smack upside the head at this point. When you can't see that your grandparent gave you the structure your divorced parents could not and in a way, kept you grounded by belonging no matter what and rather, you chance everything blindly on someone with no experience and plunk your child in the absolute least recommended environment, it's on you - not on your grandmom.
