Respec' to the Queen Mum

I’ve avoided any mention of the Queen Mother here, mostly because it doesn’t interest me in the slightest.

Still, I thought this anecdote made her sound slightly less cut off from us common folk, luv a duck, Gor’bless ‘er:

"It was two or three Christmases ago, and we were sitting down watching Ali G on TV," said William.

Prince William Prince Harry, 17, continued: "It was at the end of the meal, and she stood up and said: ‘Darling, lunch was marvellous - respec,’ and clicked her fingers.
