Her friends say she is very funny. At a family dinner, she stood to go, and the footman very properly pulled her chair away. At that moment I asked her a question and she sat down again, except there was no chair. Everyone, including the Queen, laughed and laughed. | Family, Funny | 101The Royal Family have always had an interest in a number of different areas of society. We are a part of society. | Family, Society | 102It would not be a bad idea if bankers were to go and sit occasionally with politicians in their political surgeries, where they might get a sense of the injustice that some of the community feel about the banks. | | 103When the question arose whether I, as a member of the royal family, should take part in active combat in the Falklands, there was no question in her mind, and it only took her two days to sort the issue. | | 104We've had American TV shows in Britain for years and that hasn't affected our culture at all. | | 105I could have worse tags than 'Airmiles Andy' - although I don't know what they are. | | 106You, I, we all encounter behaviors that we might say, I wouldn't do that. But she has a huge amount of contact with how people live. She sees more hospices and sink estates than most people. | | 107She is incredibly fit, but we remind staff that she's not just the monarch, but our mother. | | 108It's almost a responsibility for all the people of the United Kingdom, regardless of race, color or creed, and an understanding that you have an individual connection with each and every one. | | 109The Queen's intelligence network is a hell of a lot better than anyone's in this palace. Bar none. She knows everything. I don't know how she does it. And she sees everything. | Intelligence | 110Sarah will talk to me about someone and I don't know who she's talking about, but if she talks to my mother, the two of them will know exactly - and across several generations, too. | | 111People say to me, Would you like to swap your life with me for 24 hours? Your life must be very strange. But of course I have not experienced any other life. It's not strange to me. | | 112It's slightly complicated for people to grasp the idea of a head of state in human form. | | 113People say to me, 'Would you like to swap your life with me for 24 hours? Your life must be very strange.' | | 114I look at Canada like a second home. | | 115Today is reality. Yesterday is history. | | 116I've always been told I was extremely well-behaved as a kid. | | 117I'll tell you where the injustice is. It's with the person earning £12,000 to £15,000-a-year who is being asked to be restrained by their business or employer. Yet the taxpayer has bailed out the banks, so why are they not showing restraint? | | 118I'm in a privileged position and I'm going to do my utmost to use that privileged position on behalf of the U.K., its citizens, its businesses and people. | | 119 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
