Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee
Brits are celebrating her Diamond Jubilee. She had already overtaken George III's record. I am sure some of you know who George III is. I believe that she is going to beat her great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria's record in three years.
-Net worth: US$ 500 million (2011) -She doesn't have a passport. -She loves horses and corgis. -There have been 12 U.S. Presidents during her reign. -The Queen is the only person in Britain who can drive without a license or number plate on her state car. -She has 30 godchildren. Do you find her fascinating?

My mother-in-law has been researching her family tree for years, and it has been one of her hobbies. It turns out that she is related to Queen Elizabeth II through King Edward III. That makes them very distant cousins. Many Americans here are related to King Edward III,too. My family tree is nothing compared to her family tree. D'oh.

 I love the British royals. Today I wore my fake Princess Diana/Princess Kate blue sapphire engagement ring in their honor. Some of my relatives live 70 miles from London and they went over to London to see the festivities. They said it was fun except for the rain. |

Ad Astra Per Aspera
 
|
At first I was surprised that the Queen is worth only half a billion bucks.
But then I realized that was just her. If you added up the net worth of the entire Royal Family, it must be in the tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions. I don't really have an opinion on the "Royals." They are just human beings whose life experiences are so different than mine, I doubt either of us could relate to the other.

I have a friend in work who is obsessed with them, he's a Boy Scout leader so he's been to Windsor and Buckingham Palace (and No 10 Downing Street too) several times with his troop. The Royal Train came to Wales recently and he was able to get ahead of it to take a picture of the Queen as she got off and was driven away to a visit. She waved specifically at him, he says, as there was nobody else on the street where he was standing with his camera.
I'm not really interested. I was busy fighting with my old PC yesterday, my other half had the boats going down the Thames on TV in the background and sure enough the whole thing was given a dose of miserable British weather. |
