Well there's a dignity in royalty. A majesty that precludes the likelihood of assassination. If you were to point a pistol at a king or a queen your hands would shake as though palsied. The sight of royalty would cause you to dismiss all thoughts of bloodshed and you would stand... how shall I put it? In awe.

Dude, that was a reference from a line in Unforgiven, given by Richard Harris who was in Patriot Games where he played an IRA guy. Way to get all Kevin Bacon in this biatch. Cheers.

This can't end well. Especially with Queen Elizabeth being dead for more than 400 years.

How many members of the royal family can you fit in a classic Mini?

Five. Two in the front, two in the back, two up front, Lord Mountbatten in the ashtrays.

Six, if you notice that Diana's all over the radio too...

Hopefully there are no troubles during the meeting and they come to a good agreement on Friday.

She's Queen Elizabeth of Scotland, Elizabeth II of England.

If one good thing came out of 9/11. It's that these scumbags don't get funding from the USA anymore.
