Betty invited some neglected pals over for a bit of tea and some finger sandwiches yesterday… just an intimate group of THE SOVEREIGN MONARCHS OF THE WORLD!*
Let’s get a better look at a few of them, shall we? And we’ll see what old queens are wearing these days. Some of you need to know.
The queen on the left is Anne Marie of Greece, having a little tete a turban with the luxuriantly flawless Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser Al-Missned (pronounced “Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser Al-Missned”). Bint asked Marie if she got her necklace at Target.
Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco rolled out of bed at the Buckingham Holiday Inn and just came in her bathrobe. Princesses can get away with that shit, as this queen well knows.
The wax figures of Prince Harry, Duchess Catherine and Duke Willie were trucked in from Madame Tussauds for the event. Don’t they look real?!
A confused Princess Alexandra (whose royal lineage is a mile long) tells Emperor Akihito of Japan and Empress Michiko about her fortune cookie from last night’s takeout.
Arabs.
*(front row L – R) Emperor Akihito of Japan, Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, King Constantine of Greece, King Michael of Romania, HM , Simeon Borisov of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah, King Carl Gustaf XVI of Sweden, HM the King of Swaziland, and Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein, (middle row L – R) HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, King Letsie III of Lesotho, King Albert of Belgium, King Harald V of Norway, Emir of the State of Qatar Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, King Abdallah II of Jordan, King of Bahrain Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa, The Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, (top row, L – R) Nasser Mohamed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah of Kuwait, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, HRH the Crown Prince Alexander II of Yugoslavia, King George Tupou V of Tong, Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn of Tahiland, Princess Lalla Meryem of Morocco and HRH Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia.

The utterly stunning Lana Turner, rocking the turban in 1946′s “The Postman Always Rings Twice.”
Chexy always posts Lana Turner twice.
The “Postman” costume was designed by Irene, who in 1962 slit her wrists (although that’s disputed) and jumped from the 14th floor of the Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood (not disputed). She was reportedly distraught over the death of her true love, Gary Cooper, in 1961.
In 1948, legendary film director D.W. Griffith dropped dead in the hotel lobby of a cerebral hemorrhage at 73.
On March 3, 1966, William Frawley (best known as Fred Mertz) collapsed a half block away and was carried to the Knickerbocker lobby where they were unable to revive him.
He was 79.
Gay American poet Frank O’Hara wrote this lovely poem about Lana Turner.
O’Hara, 40, was killed when a dune buggy ran over him on Fire Island, July 24, 1966.

Gabourey Sidibe, seen here leaving a Wendy Williams show taping last week, turned 29 on Sunday.
Gabby looks fantastic in these skinny jeans and peasant blouse, with that demure parasol fending off a NYC cloudburst, while attempting to slip her hand into a pocket.
A delightfully casual look, rounded out by the adorable leopard print kicks, perfect for pounding the pavement.

Sharon Needles has won RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4, and all is right with the world. The weird boy in school, Aaron Coady of the unlikely Newton, Iowa, has been crowned — and we are all better for it. Hooray for the steel mills of Pittsburgh that forged this gorgeousness into an instant legend.
Giving a star-mix of wit and spooky fun, the face of drag is forever changed, as she joins the pantheon of ladyboy greats who sashay their way through the dragalaxy!
Congratulations to Sharon, for gallantly representing triumph over bullies, wit over anger, and gore with the glitz. She is, at once, a star in our bloody hearts!
Watch the full episode below.

Imagine you are traveling in Paris, when you spot something that appears to be as old as the pyramids, but it’s just Cayetana, The Duchess of Alba, having another belated honeymoon with her Duke, Alfie.
The Duchess inspired Parisians by strolling (sorta) along the Seine, visiting the Louvre (where only the Mona Lisa predates her beauty) and dining in local restaurants. A closer look, you say? Sure.
Divinity on earth. The gray floral hair decor from Targeta in Spain, the freshly French-fried hair, makeup as subtle as lemon crepe, eyebrows as thin and delicate as a ginger snap, earrings from a tourist stop in Tierra del Fuego, where she also found the sunglasses.
Voila! Gorgeous!
