Encounters with RoyaltyMy good friend Jonathan once had to entertain the Queen whilst she had her portrait painted. The night before he was panicking as he didn't know any clean jokes.
Have you met someone royal? Are you royal? We'd like your story...

UK loves the RoyalsYou know, I've been reading this thread quite avidly and it has just occurred to me that for a QOTW that only started yesterday there are six pages of replies. This could be one of the most popular QOTWs yet. I reason that this is because, although most people I know are avowed republicans we are besotted by the royals.
My mum and dad work for charities - I mean have actual jobs in charities, not do a Fun Run every now and again - and my dad has met HM twice and commented on how small she is. My mum has met Princess Anne and said she was 'very forthright in her opinions' and the only conclusion I can come up with is that we are a surly bunch of subjects who while resenting the wealth and privilege of the royal family actually love it and would be devastated if it came to an end.
It's amazing.
So, let's not be a republic. We need these people.
And can I come to your next garden party, please Mrs. Windsor? I could do a Brian May and play riffs from Pop Will Eat Itself's back catalogue.
