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.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (left) addressing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday about why men make wars, and Smurfette (right).
One was magically created from blue clay, sugar and spice but nothing nice, crocodile tears, half a pack of lies, a chatter of a magpie, and the hardest stone for her heart.
A team of Navy SEALs, credited with killing Osama Bin Laden at a surprise party last year, and with the recent daring rescue of two hostages in Somalia, were sent to Florida to try to save the Republican party from themselves.
One SEAL, who insisted on anonymity, said, “We went in to save them, but they’re a determined bunch. They insist on having Newt Gingrich lead them. There’s only so much we can do.”
That vision of loveliness and good in the world (I didn’t say which world), Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, wore her Annie Oakley getup (again) to the DecAid Light for Life Ceremony at Salisbury Cathedral to mark the 10th anniversary of the conflict in Afghanistan.
And it looks like she’s made a new friend.
I’m sure that Camilla is almost ready for beatification. If she plays her royal cards right, it could be in the next twenty minutes.
It looks more like “Take me to the cash bar,” but there you have it — Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Chuck visiting the Kasbah Des Oudayas in Morocco today.
Camilla looks like she’s almost ready for the runway (on RuPaul’s Drag Race) with her hair having a fit in a dust storm. Chuck, meanwhile, manages to have a better hairspray.
I like this pale lime color on Camilla… with that smile… she looks ready for the Easter Bunny!
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince Chuck arrived to Portugal for a little pre-spring getaway from all the wedding to-do back home, and as you can see, Camilla looks fabulous… through a quarter-inch of wet vinyl.
Camilla is wearing one of her old nursing uniforms from WWII, which really shows off her figure.
