Queen Elizabeth II Was Told To Stop Doing A Very Funny Impression Around Her Palace

It's well known that Queen Elizabeth II had a good sense of humour, but comedian Omid Djalili tells us about the joke that may have got her into a bit of trouble...

[@eddieingalls534]

What is brilliant about Omid is he could get a room full of different religions and cultures who normally hate each other, to laugh and laugh aloud about the silliness of their hate and ways.

[@AngelicusImmortus]

The pen thing was one of the only regal things I felt any sympathy for him with. Sure, I sympathised about the loss of his mother. But, he had to sign loads of documents that actually had her signature on them, as the mark that he had now taken the throne. Line of lineage stuff. So, under his mothers signature was going to be his name. Having that part of it being smudged or smeared would be somewhat upsetting... I mean, for example, you wouldnt want ink all over your marriage certificate, would you?

The Monarchy should never meddle in politics, always neutral, it would cause mass division, the Queen knew this, you leave that business to presidents, PMs, and governments, if King Charles becoming king has common sense he will know this .

[@whocares2033]

I have to ponder Charles has said he no longer wants to be known as " Defender of the Faith" , a title that is required, for the head of the C.of E., but as " Defender of All Faiths". Food for Thought.

[@Anglo_Browza]

Charlie’s orthodox

[@keithskelhorne3993]

Defender of the Faith was granted by a pope to Henry VIII for writing a pamphlet against Martin Luther,,, just before he (Henry) invented the C of E aka Anglicanism, because the said Henry wanted a new wife ;)

I think her rural upbringing gave her an understanding of nature and reality, and witnessing her country go to war and very nearly get invaded as a child probably made her realise that this country, and its people are worth standing for.
