Even better, she apparently was a fan of Pink Floyd.

Yes, he's good at drumming up attention, even from the Royal Family.

I always loved The Queen but (dare is say it?) ... It's good to have a man in charge!

Flame suit on & ducking for cover.

Didn't you know? Charles is in charge. No not the TV show.

Hmmm, let's see, it is red and has twelve little trumpets in a nice neat row, a Ferrari 250 GTO perhaps?
Mr. Mason has been known to tool around in a Jag or two.

The first PM she worked with was Winston Churchill born in 1874. The last one she is of course the current one, Liz Truss born 1975.

Nearly 100 years between the births of those two. No biggie I know but I get a kick out of facts like that.

She approved the appointment of PM's. I read she ok'd 14 (or thereabouts) of them.

That is a noteworthy factoid.

In that case, there's an argument to be made that Boris' antics finally did her in.
