The
Post did a feature because Queen Elizabeth's coming to town. They asked people to write in and share what they would like to say to the Queen if they met her. The answers are hilarious! Here are a few...
Your Majesty,
When I went to your country as a tourist in 1989, I felt welcome. I came into your home (Windsor Castle) and worshiped in your church (the chapel at St. James's Palace) with my husband and 2-year-old daughter. If you come to Prince William County, I want you to know you're welcome in my home in Manassas, and I'll even introduce you to my backyard neighbor, Miss Betty. She has a swing you would love. Please consider worshiping at my church, Trinity Episcopal. We welcome all, and you won't even have to wear a name tag.
-- Cindy Brookshire, Manassas
I loved you as Helen Mirren.
-- Elissa Cooper, Arlington
May I take this opportunity to say thank you? Thank you for the advice that your grandfather, King George V, gave to my great-uncle, the honorable Robert Watson, colonial secretary of Newfoundland. On June 27, 1911, at the post-coronation party in Buckingham Palace, his majesty the king advised Mr. Watson: "Don't sail home on the Titanic!" For that, I say thank you.
-- Robert Watson Alvord, Washington
Your Majesty,
You wear the most beautiful hats! Do you have any idea how many hats you own, and is there someone with the title Royal Hat Maker?
-- Theresa M. Mack, Montgomery Village
And my favorite...
You carry a handbag a great deal of the time, even at meetings with world leaders and other important functions. What's inside? Do you carry a wallet? Do you have an ID in there? Are there pictures of the grandkids? Or is it just breath mints and a hankie?
-- Suci Tayler, Washington
What would you say to the Queen?
