The last thing the Queen wants today…
File this under the “Well, they said it” category.
Front page headline of The Sun today: (their line breaks)
“What does
woman [sic - CA] with
everything
say she’d
like for her
birthday…?
THE SUN.”
In other words, the last thing the Queen wants is The Sun. Yes?
(And of course what she actually said - as the story text notes - was “A nice sunshiny day, that would be nice.” Or it might have been sun-shiny - there’s a line break in it. Or sun-shiney? Sunshiney? Oh hell. And as for that “What does woman with”, if they’d done “the woman with” it would have bashed into her hat, which wouldn’t have respectful, y’know.)
