Remember she's keen on horses. I imagine she doesn't go as long with this libellous suggestion that they can't sing.

I believe there was one point when they had amended the law so that women could be Mayors, but they hadn't changed a few other things, and the consort had to be called the Mayoress. There were cases where great big hairy miners with wives on the council suddenly found they had to be introduced as the Mayoress.
