Did you hear that
the queen of England is quitting her job? Well, maybe. Speculation has surfaced
before and been shot down. The source this time is a Buckingham Palace insider
blabbing to OK! Magazine, always chock full of news about celebrities that
people like us don’t give a tasty rat’s ass about.
(That’s a
metaphor, of course. We cats kill mice for sport and then bat them around. If
we actually ate them, somebody in Comrade Bill’s NYC would set up a cannery.
Low input costs create a great business model.)
Anyway, at age 89
Queen Elizabeth II supposedly has tired of official visits and waving to
gawkers and wants to retire for the sake of her husband, Prince Phillip. From
the insider:
Elizabeth became
queen in 1952 when her father, George IV died, and has had the longest reign of
any British monarch. If this story is correct, she will abdicate in the spring.
OK! Magazine goes
on to drop another bombshell: Her eldest son Charles, 67, won’t be ascending to
the throne because Mum has brokered a deal for grandson William to become king
and his wife, the former Kate Middleton, to be queen.
Geez, Charles
can’t catch a break. He looks like a horse. He suffered through a messy divorce
and then his ex-wife got killed in the most publicized traffic accident in
history. At the end, he gets no credit for being the hardest-working royal in
history. Often life isn’t fair, even when you’re the Prince of Wales.
