QUEEN ELIZABETH: THIS IS HOW ROYALS HAVE FUN?

If anybody is steeped in tradition, it’s Queen Elizabeth, 92, and after all these years she still thinks a “hunt” is a good time. Imagine getting up at the crack of dawn with freezing temperatures, and trekking through the misty woods in search of birds to shoot. There are plenty of cute dogs around, but killing quail (or whatever birds these Brits hunt) just doesn’t seem like that much fun. The Queen (with a hood and walking stick) was having such a good time with her friends on vacation, however, that she didn’t even go home when the Duke had his driving accident. By the way, the Queen drove her own Range Rover to the shoot.

    The monarchy should be banned and all of their wealth should go back to the people

  3. Giuliana de Pandi Rancid

    Bloodsports are an important tradition for this lot.

    Plus, shooting peasants…oops!…”pheasants” is apparently rather fun for the Saxe-Coburg Gotha clan.
