Is that the Queen in Tesco? (… and on the Number 22 bus) by Alison Jackson
(Yes, I did spend way too much time making this video! I don’t know how long it will remain available, but probably for a limited time.)
…or, at least, the Internet. You’ll find Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, and other dearly departed royals (so far mostly English) over at the clever Undead Royals roleplaying message board.
Ahoy there! Once again it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day, and this year I’ve turned Britain’s Princess Eugenie into a pirate using this online English-to-Pirate translator from the original Talk Like a Pirate Day website.
So here’s a quote from the princess, translated into pirate-speak:
“How do I play t’ princess thin’? I don’t really. I don’t like talkin’ about it much and find it annoyin’ when people say thin’s like, “Oh, you’re t’ princess.” One o’ me best buckos jokin’ly says, “Hi, Princess,” and I say, “Shut up”. It be one o’ t’ thin’s that bugs me most in t’ world.”
Aar, maybe she’d be happier as a pirate than a princess.
National Geographic has a nice gallery of castle photos that can be set as your desktop wallpaper. I’m using the purple one, of course (photo number 11). It looks good even at 1280×1024 screen resolution.
Revealed: What really went on between Queen Elizabeth and First Lady Michelle Obama!
OK, maybe that’s not exactly how it happened. I made this video at Xtranormal.com. It’s free — check it out!
DECEMBER 2009 UPDATE: For some reason the video has vanished. Too bad! I checked my Xtranormal account and it’s not there. I’ve emailed to see if it can be retrieved.
Here’s something I found via The Raucous Royals: Kris Waldherr, author of Doomed Queens, has a new site, Ask the Queens, where you can seek advice from fifty of history’s unluckiest royal women.
I can’t decide what tag to use on this post, so I’ll ask the queens now…
ANSWER: Elisabeth of Bavaria says, “You can’t run away from destiny.”
I guess I can’t.

Guess what? Prince Harry is incandescent with rage because the ghost of Diana is getting engaged, which will result in a media field day. Royal watchers are in a tizzy and predicting the end of the monarchy!
