Don't Mess With Me Bitch - I Am THE QUEEN!

Oh Elton, you tea-spewing fat queen.

Grandma’s gonna Grandma.

This sounds like it never happened.

[quote]Queen Elizabeth slapped her nephew across the face in front of Elton John

That headline makes it sound like she whacked him with the full force of her wizened old body, rather than what she probably did which was tap him open handed on the cheek.

Boom!

“saying ‘Don’t’ – slap – ‘argue’ – slap – ‘with’ – slap – ‘me’ – slap – ‘I’ – slap – ‘am’ – slap – ‘THE QUEEN!'”

She was probably angry that she had to move her handbag to her less dominant hand to punctuate her words with the whacks.

“Don't Mess With Me Bitch - I Am THE QUEEN!”

Bitch stole my (left) hook!

I'm not seeing a problem here.

Wish she'd slap Harry's "colony" wife a few times.

[quote] I know the Queen’s public image isn’t exactly one of wild frivolity, but . . . in private she could be hilarious

I wonder if that perception is caused by her being the queen. I imagine if anyone else said the same lines, even a comedian, it wouldn’t be funny.

His story was believable until she supposedly said, "I am the Queen". Totally out of character for her. She doesn't need to say she's the Queen because everyone KNOWS she's the Queen.

Her nephew, Linley (now the 2nd Earl of Snowdon) was the target of attempted blackmail a few years ago involving drugs and homosexuality. Linley immediately went to the Queen to tell her the details, which apparently she took quite calmly. She advised him to call the police and let them handle it, which they did.

[quote] One intimate revelation details the time Richard Gere and Sylvester Stalone fought over the newly single princess at a party.

Why? Did Richard Gere want to wear her dress and Stallone wanted to fuck her?

[quote] Why? Did Richard Gere want to wear her dress and Stallone wanted to fuck her?

No, Stallone wanted to fuck Richard Gere and Diana wouldn't let them leave together. Since she wasn't getting any, she wanted to make sure that nobody who attended one of her dreary parties got any either.

So, you actually think he'd be stupid enough to tell a lie about The Queen, while she's still alive to refute it?

She's a billion years old. What's she going to do about it? She won't draw negative attention to royalty by stooping to comment on the lies of some bitter, old poof. She has more important things to think about. Like is George Michael's ex-butt boy getting anywhere near the tourists?

Why is Elton suddenly so thirsty? He just can't keep his fat maw shut these days.

[quote]So, you actually think he'd be stupid enough to tell a lie about The Queen, while she's still alive to refute it?

Like she would bother. It's a minor story with zero consequences. If anyone would care to refute it, it's the nephew.

The only slap-happy queen in that room was Elton himself.

Ok, I'm now interested in this book. Finally, someone pulling back the curtain on that family. I assumed that they weren't above beating their children's asses. I knew the Queen would be a, "Do you know who I am!' type of person. Her staff usually get that out for her, but it's apparent that these people throw their weight around, probably obsessed with the pecking order.

r12 I think that proves that she was saying it all in jest. That sounds like how a grandmother would be slightly serious, but playfully, chastise a young child. She was playing. Now when Charles was growing up, I'm sure she and Phillip stayed on his ass.

The nephew in question was not a child, but an adult, born 1961. He’s the son of Princess Margaret, grandson of King George VI and Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. He is God Child of the Queen Elizabeth II. He’s accomplished in his own right with homes in London, the country, and Provence. He has a wife and two children, with some drug filled homosex on the side.

My hunch is that this event with the Queen was something that the man struggled to suppress a beaming smile throughout.

Elton is just jealous that he wasn't the one being slapped around by the Queen.

Someone should slap Elton John across the face.

I can actually see her doing something like this but definitely not in the presence of some random outsider like Dame John.

QEII would NEVER do that. Princess Margaret would totally do that, only it wouldn't have been a light slap but a total ass whooping.

So either Elton is confused (likely) or it never happened

R26 and how many of the Queen's events have you attended?

Someone needs to slap the fuck out of Elton.

I'm betting she was only lightly tapping his face as she said this. She was clearly half making fun of herself and half telling him to do what she was telling him to do.

r27

QEII has a perfect record, and she isn't going to spoil it on a pseudo-queen like Elton, especially one that spent most of his life high and strung out

Look at Princess Margaret, you can see literally thousands of actions where she exhibits this kind of behavior, but not her sister.

Queen Elizabeth doesn't have to tell anyone she is the queen, they know it.

R30 there are plenty of stories where she says or does something cheeky behind the scenes. You're cherry-picking.

The queen is a complete enigma, who knows what she gets up to behind closed doors.

I would expect nothing less from a queen.

She is supposedly a lot of fun behind closed doors. She once referred to Princess Michael of Kent as "far to grand for us" which is a brilliant put down, considering Her Majesty is at the pinnacle of society.

R30, the understanding is that if one has been the guest of the queen or a fellow guest of someone else where the queen also is a guest, one does not talk about specifics of conversations or actions.

Elton hardly would have jeopardized his continued close access to some of the family members, and therefor he would have submitted the "I am the QUEEN!" piece to the palace for approval. As it shows Elizabeth being very funny in an unexpectedly arch, yet endearing, way, the palace no doubt gave its enthusiastic okay.

Despite the queen's well-known gift for imitations of public and famous figures she reduces to powder with her keen eye, almost no specifics ever have come out. Her comment about the Duchess of Kent ("Oh, she's more royal than the rest of us.") was a rarity, but also another example of an approved release. In this case it made a point the family wished to be made to distance themselves from this horrid woman.

The family can talk. Liz's uncle loved Hitler and he married a man in drag whose banged out cooter needed it's own postal code.

And then her grandson married a blackamoor. Hardly anything to brag about someone else being grand.

David, Viscount Linley and Lady Sarah Chatto are my third cousins through their father and his horrible mother. I've never met them.

I'm Prince Philip's illegitimate great-granddaughter by his sister Cecilie's. maid who managed to avoid the fatal flight in 1937 because she had been fired for being in the family way. She lost her mind when she heard that Cecilie and Grand Duke Georg and two of the girls had died after Cecilie gave birth on the plane unexpectedly and it hit a chimney trying to land in bad weather. And all that on the way to Papa Philip's other sister's wedding. Großmutter was placed for adoption but the family was told at the orphanage who the real father was it was Catholic and they hated the fact that Philip's sisters, including Cecilie, were Nazis and they refused to hide his little bastard, Edeltraut's, paternal connection to the Glücksburgs. Philip was only about sixteen when she was born, the little fucker. The SIS found her after Philip was being set up for Elizabeth, and the adoptive family, who had moved from Darmstadt to Denmark after the war, were stalked and warned that if they ever said anything to anyone the entire family would be killed.

I've never met them. The Windsors, or the Mountbattens, for that matter, I mean. I do have Philip's nose, although I had most of it rearranged after a fencing accident at Brown many years ago.

Remember when an intruder entered her bed chamber? She kept him chatting while frantically pressing the emergency button.

There’s a story about Elizabeth walking with a friend through some rural area. When someone learned that she lived in London, they asked her if she’d ever met the Queen. She replied that she hadn’t, but pointed to her friend, and said, that he has.”

There a story about how she went for a nighttime stroll through the garden, and was almost shot buy a sniper.

During WWII, she worked as a mechanic.

On VJ Day, The Queen begged her parents to allow her and Margaret to leave the palace and celebrate with the crowds. The King and Queen, agreed, provided that they go with a gaggle of others.

Princess Anne was once attempted to be kidnapped, but she fought the assailants and won!

It was one assailant, [R40], and her bodyguard was shot something like 7 times. Her husband, Mark Phillips, was also in the car. It was so nasty. Princess Anne talked about it in detail on Australian telly. It's on youtube.

There was a movie made on this premise. "A Royal Night Out" Unfortunately, to add comedy to the story, they made Margaret much stupider than she actually was.

R39, Prince Phillip's family is Greek Orthodox not Catholic. And apparently he has quietly returned to the faith importing Greek Orthodox priests into Windsor to say private Divine Liturgy. I don't blame him. Anglicanism is not a real religion.

[quote] Philip’s four sisters married German princes and moved to Germany. Philip was alone in England.

There’s an interesting movie I can’t recall the name of right now, but his sister, Princess Sophie of Hesse, and her family were required to vacate their German home/castle immediately after the war so that the Allies could use the place to facilitate their occupation. In the movie, they hid their jewels in a hidden room and bricked-up any access to the room. In the movie, a US soldier found them, but found that he couldn’t fence them.

[quote] And apparently he has quietly returned to the faith importing Greek Orthodox priests into Windsor to say private Divine Liturgy.

Must be the senility. He was never big on organised religion.

Has anyone read Elton’s autobiography yet? Wondering if I should give it a go. x

I never heard of the movie, but the theft of the Hessian jewels involved three Americans, two male and one female. The jewels belonged to Princess Margaret, Landgravine of Hesse. She was a sister to the last Kaiser, and grand-daughter of Queen Victoria. The jewels were hidden in Schloss Friedrichshof, a castle inherited by Margaret from her mother, Victoria, Kaiserin and also Princess of Royal of Britain. Only a small portion of the jewels were ever recovered. Margaret died in 1954, the same year her sister-in-law (and cousin) Princess Irene, both of whom opposed the claims of Anna Anderson as Grand Duchess Anastasia. Princess Irene was sister to Tsarina Alexandra and Prince Philip's maternal grandmother.

R47, it’s titled [italic] “The Hessen Conspiracy” [/italic] it’s not the best movie, but I like war movies, heist movies, and historical movies, so I enjoyed it. I had forgotten it was based on true events.

Part of what makes ”American Exceptionalism” a real thing, were things like this. While there certainly were bad actors, the American policy was NOT to loot its occupied nations of their jewels, artwork, and gold reserves. The Russians stole all those, even from erstwhile allies like Poland, and even packed-up entire German factories and shipped them back to Russian for reassembly and operation.
