Subject: RE: BS: Secret Royal Veto Powers
26 years as a princess, 60 years as a queen. She's got connections through family and friends, she's travelled a fair bit, she's had personal audiences and relationships with a few dignitaries, PMs, presidents, she wields the sword (don't point out to me she doesn't on accounta that is crap)... Now, if *I* was PM, I would wanna seek her advice.

I wouldn't, on the grounds that 26 years as a princess and 60 years as a queen by sheer accident of birth do not necessarily make you wise. And I'll accord this much to our Queen: she is sensible enough to open her trap at such infrequent intervals that we never actually get to know whether she's wise or not (though I suspect she isn't), unlike that idiot eldest son of hers, who betrays his lack of wisdom regularly.
