Historians must be having a field day with this. :D
I hope the current Queen does this (I imagine Charles does) because that'll be amazing for historians. All PMs from Churchill to the present day :mellow:

We are not amused.

I don't know what that is, I actually don't want you to tell me, but I am disturbed that you know it, whatever it is.

I assume he means John Brown, Vicky's gamekeeper. There were rumours. ;)

Of course he does. Mrs. Brown and all that.
And what good is being Queen if you cannot screw the Gamekeeper? Catherine the Great would have screwed the Gamekeeper and the game.

One of the saddest moments of my hobby as an amateur historian was when I found out that the "Catherine the Great was fucked to death by a horse" thing was pure invention. :(
Though the fact that her secretary really did try out her (human) lovers to see if they were any good almost made up for it. :D
