"PM spoke of the Royal Family with expectable reverence not unmixed with humour and the occasional surrealist note: "The Queen is uncommonly talented in ways that you might not suspect," she proclaimed. Suspecting nothing, I asked, "In what way?" "Well, she can put on a very heavy tiara while hurrying down a flight of stairs with no mirror." - extract from Point to Point Navigation: A Memoir by Gore Vidal

This particular talent of the Queen's may now have eluded her, if one recalls the spat with Annie Liebovitz, and the "dressy crown". But I must say, as I have aged, I too find putting on a tiara a much more complicated procedure than when I was young and carefree.
What a talent! xx
