Queen Elizabeth to move from Buckingham Palace: report
2006-04-16
LONDON: Queen Elizabeth II, who turns 80 on Friday, is to stop using central London's iconic Buckingham Palace as her principal residence, The Times newspaper said Saturday. Though the palace would remain the royal headquarters, the queen was to make Windsor Castle, west of London, her primary residence and cut back her crammed schedule of engagements to reflect her age, the daily said. Paul Wybrew, the queen's most senior page for three decades, is set to move to the ancient castle, where the queen spends her weekends and is known to consider as home, The Times said.

#7  There's a running gag that when the Queen's 'roids have been acting up, she takes a Zulu knob-kerry to her homo courtiers.

#6  Yeah, and the Mexican government signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. It doesn't seem to bother them now in making claims upon 'the lost lands' of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, in rationalizing their actions.

#5  No right of return..

British Kings from Edward III to George III (who relinquished the title) were titled King of France

James I was styled
"King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith."

#1  Members of the royal household were heard to say that the Queen was mumbling something about Versaille. “If the French government is surrendering to the students today, could there be a better time to once again lay a claim to vacant French throne?”
