The ‘practical’ item Queen Elizabeth II reportedly had in her handbag

Royals go from prim to grim

“From palace officers, we had been informed to bow from the neck,” mentioned journalist Mark Steyn. “George the Fifth mentioned solely waiters bow from the waist.”

Steyn. Creator, radio host, his TV present airs day by day within the UK. So I requested what had at all times been in that omnipresent all-powerful Queen Elizabeth purse?

“Royals turn out to be sensible. Edward the Eighth at all times decreed you by no means miss a chance to do the john. Go even when not wanted. As a result of at any second you’ll face some VIP or Fiji prime minister or anyone after which you possibly can’t go. I used to be truly informed a rest room seat cowl was at all times in her purse.”

Educated in the UK’s King Edward’s Faculty, Birmingham, it was the identical establishment creator J.R.R. Tolkien had attended. Steyn’s skill with phrases probably got here from having been assigned the identical dictionary utilized by Tolkien.

Concerning the Agency’s duties, he mentioned: “The job is just not ‘glamorous’ like Meghan wished. Not like being photographed with Oprah. Nevertheless it’s what the queen did, proper till the top. Simply days in the past Queen Elizabeth despatched a message to her Canadian topics following a mass homicide in Saskatchewan which is part of Her Majesty’s dominions. I doubt this Duchess of Sussex might even pronounce that or discover it on a map. However the queen did it, day in, time out, till effectively after sunset.

“She loved simplicity. In her drafty massive citadel she’d be at a modest desk with the form of little house heater you get at Walmart for 15 bucks.”

So, how about now Queen Consort Camilla and King Charles’ previous Tampax jokes?

“All of us did them. Wonderful how Charles received over that. Exhibits in case you put your head down and barrel on, you will get over something.”

And me-me-me Meghan?

“Oh, please. Ghastly. Worst form of cheapo third-rate Z-list celeb. She most popular photographers to visiting hospitals. Not her scene. And [Harry], he’s of no curiosity to anyone. He isn’t truly very shiny.

“That stage at all times milks one thing that fades day by day. Born second, you spend your entire life turning into unimportant. This pair will ultimately develop much less helpful. Actual celebrities will tire of them — and, watch, quickly the VIPs received’t even return their calls.” 


Citrus sours within the southland

Gov. DeSantis has been profitable in scary mother and father with respect to Florida’s public colleges — so mommies and daddies are sending their kids to personal colleges. These lucky little ones are actually spared studying something that might make them “uncomfortable.”

In the meantime, in response to police and directors, a 42-year-old feminine trainer at a Florida non-public faculty received arrested for getting it on with a scholar.

Jamie Melton, a highschool English teacher at Tampa’s $25,000-a-year Carrollwood Day Faculty, is going through prison prices after allegedly having “sexual relations” with a scholar.

Sunny retirement state. Land of oranges and no matter different fruit you possibly can pluck.


Florida. Solely a salesman’s daughter however she knew to present out samples. Solely a waiter’s daughter however she positive might dish it out. Solely a mechanic’s daughter however she might repair a man’s wagon. Solely a trainer’s daughter however boy! did she have the colleges.
