This Woman Is 89 Years Old

Queen Elizabeth's Imperial State Crown

Most of the time I think it would be pretty cool to be the Queen. When I see a picture like this, however, taken today, not so much. It looks like Her Madge would be happier staying home with the corgis, with her feet up and a nice cup of tea. Not gonna happen, because as Tina Brown once said, this Queen believes in Royalty 101: you get out there and wield your handbag [and your crown] until the day you die.

Note that in September, Queen Elizabeth II will surpass Queen Victoria as the longest-reigning Monarch in British history. As of now, nothing special is planned to mark the occasion.
