"When he repeatedly tried to fob her off, the Queen lightly slapped him across the face, saying ‘Don’t’ – slap – ‘argue’ – slap – ‘with’ – slap – ‘me’ – slap – ‘I’ – slap – ‘am’ – slap – ‘THE QUEEN!'"

Wrote Elton John, quoted in "Queen Elizabeth slapped her nephew across the face in front of Elton John" (NY Post).

The Queen lightly slapped him across the face, saying ‘Don’t’ – slap – ‘argue’ – slap – ‘with’ – slap – ‘me’ – slap – ‘I’ – slap – ‘am’ – slap – ‘THE QUEEN!'”

Sounds like a typical routine performed nightly and worldwide in homosexual bars.

No she didn’t. Give me a break.

I was hoping it was BoJo who would not take instructions!

See where he is now.

makes me like Liz Even More (assuming it really happened)
She's a pretty good queen... For a German Usurper

She’s not wrong.

I can imagine HMQ saying "Off with his head" in a moment of wild fun.

Elton John is the queen.

Richard said...

It would have been worse if she was the Red Queen.

Well, good for Auntie.

Anybody got any good dish on Elton John? Is he nice to the help? I hear he may be, "that way"!

"We are not amused."

JAORE said...

And then Elton said, "Madam, I beg to differ."

I mean, part of me thinks it's standard flamboyancy from a hyper-glam Brit.

But part of me remembers that her family hasn't stayed on the throne this long by being easy to push out of things.

Well, what's the use it being a Monarch if you can't slap the kids around when they need it?

"Fob her off"? You mean like an ugly girlfriend on a wingman? Or some kind of pocket watch? Sometimes the English are as obscure to me as the French..

Greg the class traitor said...

Good for her.

I hope the story is true

"Fob her off"?

I believe the US translation would be the (non-sexual) "Blow her off"

While at a party, the Rocketman claims, QEII asked her nephew, Viscount Linley, to watch over his sister, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, because she wasn’t feeling well and had left the festivities to go rest. Linley had no interest in doing so.

“When he [Linley] repeatedly tried to fob her off, the Queen lightly slapped him across the face, saying ‘Don’t’ – slap – ‘argue’ – slap – ‘with’ – slap – ‘me’ – slap – ‘I’ – slap – ‘am’ – slap – ‘THE QUEEN!'”

Linley then followed the Queen’s instructions.


Well done, your majesty

Assistant Village Idiot said...

Well, someone had to.

I find HM's actions more aunt-like than queen-like.

James K said...

Sounds like the whole thing was sort of tongue-in-cheek on the Queen's part. At least Elton John thought she was hilarious.

Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...

ohhhhh! THAT queen

thought it was Robbie Mook getting dressed down

"Now we see the violence inherent in the system!"

Someone had to do it!

BJM said...

Welp, he's off Her Maj's guest list. The number 1 requirement to pal around with the royals is absolute discretion.

I like QEII. Her offspring aren't impressive, but she is.

You believe this?

Hmmm.....
