The Royal Family have a sense of irony and mischief

Its been good to watch our Queen on telly today, They seem to have the publics interest at heart.

They also have a sense of mischief not always fully apparent when other visiting heads of state come to see them at Buck House

The video is of the marching band at Buckingham Palace

They played the same theme when King Abdullah from Saudi Arabia a land of human rights abuses and where women do not even have the vote, when he arrived at Buck House


Darth vader is the one that is usually played into this march

It is a very good sign of their neutrality that they were able to play this as a fitting silent way of protesting about him

Good on the Royals

Her Majesty today
