My...This is what she would have preferred to say:<br /><br /><br />My Lords and Members of the House of Commons<br /><br />My husband and I will continue to support My Ministers while they continue to punch above their weight by pretending to be major players on the world stage, a practice which can perhaps be justified by the harmless amusement which it provides to citizens of countries whose governments know their rightful and proper place. We will therefore meet and greet those foreign dignitaries who surprise Us by thinking it worth their while to come here and to whom Mr Milliband (We think that that is his name) says we must offer the hospitality of Our homes (We, at least, know Our duty) but by reason of advancing years We have ceased to go to them. Our days of having to sit next to a Foreign Minister while enjoying a meal probably made from his predecessor are over and we leave that pleasure, such as it is, to Our family. Our daughter-in-law, We are pleased to say, will eat anything; except horsemeat, which she excludes from the menu for reasons into which We do not think it necessary or proper to enter.<br /><br /><br />Members of the House of Commons,<br /><br />Estimates for the public services will be laid before you. They will be prepared on the assumption that My Ministers will do what they must, and only what they must, and will spend what they need, and only what they need, on doing it.<br /><br /><br />My Lords and Members of the House of Commons<br /><br />Various Bills will be laid before you. My Ministers are unable to tell me that they will be comprehensible to anyone except (perhaps) those who drafted them; there are certain untruths which will stick in the throats even of those who adorn, or at any rate fill, the offices they hold. In any event I have told them that I will in due course consider – in the Parliamentary and Norman-French sense of that word – any Bill to amend the law relating to criminal justice; to confer on any of them or on any body appointed by them any power which is not at present so conferred; or to extend the authority of those institutions in Brussels to which I prefer not to make further allusion in this of all places. I will extend the same consideration, and in the same sense, to any Bill presented by a Private Member of either of your Houses. If in consequence My Ministers find that they have fewer Bills than usual to place before Me My people may share My view that that is all to the good and may indeed reminisce with pleasure about the days when My Royal predecessors summoned your Houses to meet in February and prorogued them in July.<br /><br /><br />My Lords and Members of the House of Commons<br /><br />I pray that the blessing of Almighty God may attend upon your counsels and that the determination I have taken to make those counsels brief and to the point will be attended with success.Andrew Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273362558325263161noreply@blogger.com
