The Queen

[to Tony Blair] They, er, sent a copy of the Queen's speech. Might want to scrape the frost off it first... Oh, I phoned them with a couple of suggestions, to make it sound like it came from a human being.

HM Queen Elizabeth II: Have we shown you how to start a nuclear war yet? Tony Blair: Er, no. HM Queen Elizabeth II: First thing we do apparently, we take away your passport and spend the rest of our time sending you around the world. Tony Blair: You obviously know my job better than I do. HM Queen Elizabeth II: Yes, well, you are my tenth Prime Minister, Mr Blair. My first, of course, was Winston Churchill. He sat in your chair in a frock coat and top hat. And he was kind enough to give a shy young girl like me quite an education. Tony Blair: I would imagine. HM Queen Elizabeth II: In time, one has added experience to that education and a little wisdom, better enabling us to carry out our constitutional responsibilities to advise, guide and warn the government of the day. Tony Blair: Advice which I look forward to receiving.

Prince Charles: I should go to Paris. I told my people to start organizing a jet. HM Queen Elizabeth II: What, a private one? Prince Charles: Yes. HM Queen Elizabeth II: Isn't that precisely the sort of extravagance they always attack us for? Prince Charles: How else am I supposed to get to Paris at this time? The airport at Aberdeen will be closed and — HM The Queen Mother: Charles dear, use the Royal Flight; they keep one plane on permanent standby, in case I should kick the bucket. HM Queen Elizabeth II: No, Mummy, that's out of the question; this isn't a matter of State. Prince Charles: What are you talking about? HM Queen Elizabeth II: Diana's no longer a member of the Royal Family. She's not an HRH. This is a private matter! Prince Charles: She's mother to your grandchildren! HM The Queen Mother: What is happening now? Prince Philip: I don't know; I can't hear, everyone shouting!

HM Queen Elizabeth II: Do you think it wise for the boys to go stalking so soon? HM The Queen Mother: Anything that gets them into the fresh air is a good thing. HM Queen Elizabeth II: Well, maybe they shouldn't take their guns. I mean, if a photographer were to see them, it might send out the wrong signal. HM The Queen Mother: If there is a photographer out there, he could be the first kill of the day.
