In control

Clarence John Laughlin (1905- 1985) The Magnificent Spiral (No. 3), 1946


One rather suspects that this story from Celebrity Cafe is very unlikely to be true.

Perhaps this line gives it all away:

When the Queen heard this news, according to royal reporter Yvonne Yorke, “She was so angry, that she…didn’t even bother going into a private room…she walked right into the office, and said to somebody ‘give me a phone’.

It might have sounded more plausible if the writer of this drivel had said: The Queen, wearing her usual daywear tiara summoned several liveried lackeys and demanded that they call the Gold Stick-in-Waiting,  imperiously instructing him to gather a division of the Household Cavalry, so that they might ride post-haste to her grandson and ask him why he wasn't wearing his Garter Robes on a daily basis...

One rather suspects that Her Majesty is very much in control.
Of her emotions.

But of course one should never let a good story get in the way of the truth. And there will be plenty of those around in the months leading up to the wedding at the end of April.

Vivat Regina!
