A Park. A Bowl. Zzz.
Me: Well, I'm glad she didn't wear white.
Sophie: Yes.
M: She looks awful. Why grey? For god's sake, she could have picked something else. Yellow. Or peach, perhaps.
S: She doesn't look that bad.
M: Well, I suppose it hides the shape of her body. She looks like Joanna Lumley's Mum. Or Cruella DeVille with a goth twist. What is with that hat? Jesus...
S: She looks like a... what's that bird? Where the male has the feathers to attract the female?
M: A peacock.
S: Yes.
(Later)
M: The Queen looks unhappy.
S: Yeah, she does, doesn't she?
M: Hatchet-faced. Bored.
S: Look at Charles. He looks thoughtful. I wonder if he's thinking about Diana?
M: Hmm.
S: You know, I saw a documentary last week about Mohammed Al-Fayed. He blames Prince Phillip for Diana's death. He thinks he was behind it all, because he always hated her.
M: And he's racist. He's the biggest embarassment in the Royal Family.
(Later)
M: Finally! I thought it would never finish.
S: The princes look happy.
M: God, look at the Queen! She's been sucking lemons.
S: At least she's supporting them. Look, she's posing for photos.
(Pause)
M: Camilla's hat looks like it's going to fly off.
S: She looks awful.
M: She looks like she gelled her hair in a hurry and now it's all over the place.
S: Yeah!
M: It could take off and kill somebody!
S: Yeah! The Queen!
(Both laugh)
M: And there she goes!
S: She's in a hurry!
M: Yup!
S: (Pause) I don't think I like the Queen.
M: Yeah?
S: She's so miserable.
M: Hmm.
S: I mean, I like her, of course. It's just... I don't like her, at the same time.
M: Well, Sophie, well done. You just proved you're British after all. Hate the Queen! Abolish the monarchy!
Sophie: (getting up to leave) Well, if you need some help with that, you could always ask the French how we did it!
Me: Well, I'm glad she didn't wear white.
Sophie: Yes.
