in bad hair, royals
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.

in chexy's fashion report, fabulosity, gorgeousness, i make shit up, royals, world affairs
Can you guess who this hatted and gloved goddess is? No?
Surprise! It’s Betty Deuce, as seen on a visit to Chester Zoo today in, where else, Chester!
Her Majesty is wearing the Frosted Sunflower Brooch, which she does when she wears pastels.
An ancient orangutan reached for the flower on Betty’s hat… oh, never mind, it was just Phil and his eyebrows.

in can you guess?, gorgeousness, royals
Everyone wonders what Betty keeps in her handbag… and it’s no secret.
Her Launer handbag contains reading glasses, mints, a fountain pen and a small mirror and lipstick, and a hankie… and she does look minty fresh today in that Crest toothpaste color!
This was Betty today at Slaters Terrace Wharf, Burnley, where she rode a barge down the canal as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebration. Can you spot her in the above photo?! That’s Phil in the flasher’s raincoat.

in little known facts, royals, ya gotta love it
Betty’s been busy bustling through Bromley as part of her Diamond Jubilee tour. Wearing one of her giant birthday cake hats which appears to be eating her, and the Pearl Quatrefoil Brooch, Her Majesty looked beautifully tweedy and mildly annoyed.
The fondant ribbon on her bonnet appears to have escaped from a baby shower gift. Betty’s blush has that kiss of spring, with her lipstick giving her that ever so slight diabolic look.

Betty Deuce’s wax figure (you can’t tell it apart from the real wax figure!) gets a touchup from an artist at Madame Tussauds in London, prior to its debut.
Just like the real royals, the figures remain standing via metal poles in the rear.

in bad hair, royals, what did I say?
It’s the Duchess of Cambridge, looking hungrier every day, but better when she’s surrounded by checkerboard, as seen at some Olympic thingy on Friday.

in royals, uh-oh
Camilla, Duchess of Rothesay (as she’s known in Scotland), visited the Rosslyn Chapel on Tuesday, where she praised the restoration work.
Her Exquisiteness is holding a stonemason’s hammer, which had just been used to touch up her hair.
Cam chose one of her new outfits for the Scotland visit, showing a bit of plaid on a large collar that frames her face beautifully… like a painting you’d find at the Salvation Army.

That’s our Betty, topped with the Imperial State Crown, as though she’d just eaten margarine (some of you may remember that), and wearing the expression of a woman who needs two Tylenol, stat.
Her Majesty attended the State Opening of Parliament today, where she paraded through the Royal Gallery in the Palace of Westminster.
This year’s session is expected to introduce banking reform, House of Lords reform, and plans for increased internet monitoring. If I should disappear in the next few weeks after posting about Camilla, you’ll know who to blame.
