I love the Queen. It has been so much fun to follow her trip to America. I especially love her hats, as I'm a confirmed hat lover. She always wears these beautiful creations. And a new one every day. Did you see the Kentucky Derby? There has always been a tradition of wearing hats to that event, and with the Queen and her entourage (do they still call them ladies in waiting?) also wearing since fine hats it was such a sight to see.
Our dear President hosted several events for Her Majesty. A Laura Bush's suggestion he will hold a white tie dinner for the Queen and other dignitaries tonight on Monday. Did you know that once the queen is done with her meal, everyone is done and the dinner is over? Royalty waits for no one. I think she eats slowly on purpose because of that rule.
Already, Bush has formally welcomed her to the White House and has given a little speech about the ties between our two countries. He remarked to the Queen, "After all you've dined with 10 U.S. presidents. You've helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 -- in 1976." The article goes on to say that the Queen, "peered back at him from beneath her black and white hat," as Bush looked at her sheepishly.
He did catch himself and I appreciate that. I still find it amusing though. Check out the full article to see how Bush characterized this look. Very funny.
