Well the noble Queen has reigned over many a shabby scandal, mostly not of her making (though I'm never sure about Diana....or Harry...) She keeps her inner core safe (Cambridges and kiddies, Anne) and a few peripherals anonymous (Wessexes and, to an extent, Phil The Greek and his big racist mouth, generally just a looming yet silent grouse-murdering presence). We've had Fergiegate, Dianagate, Cheating-Charliegate, anus-horribilisgate, divorcesgate, Andygate, Meghangate...they keep coming and they add flame to the spluttering embers and they never let us forget "the firm." Yet Her Maj shines through the crock of shite like a glistening jewel. She's managed what Boris couldn't - surround yourself with gross inferiors that make YOU shine all the more. He's tried that (he calls them "his cabinet"), but with him you'd achieve more shine on a polished turd.
