Journal Entry 1 by wingAylaMeywing from Zeist, Utrecht Netherlands on Saturday, February 10, 2018
IN 2012, THE DIAMOND JUBILEE YEAR, HER MAJESTY'S DIARIES ARE OPENED AT LAST...

'Had a quick run-through of the opening ceremony. One wanted to call it "The Empire Strikes Back" but it was generally felt that might intimidate the smaller nations.'

Queen of sixteen sovereign nations, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. She's one of the world's most well-known and powerful leaders and has reigned for 60 years. But what does she really think?

'One does enjoy the Eurovision Song Contest. Lovely to be reminded how much more civilized the British are than our European neighbours. Royal Eurovision Fancy Dress Party to celebrate. Unfortunately Camilla misread the invitation as 'Euro-tunnel Fancy Dress Party' and came as a train.'

Taking in the momentous events of 2012, including the Jubilee celebrations and preparations for the London Olympics, these diaries reveal the seldom-seen workings of state and reveal how an octogenarian is quietly ruling the world and still has time for a gin.

Found this book on the shelf of the A&O Hostel Leipzig and

I do like the Queen (of Twitter) quite a lot and the tweets are usually a delightful diversion on a dreary day - such as her tweet in response to the announcement of Prince Archie's name.
The book was an amusing, light read though at times repetitive making the same joke in a dozen different ways (Clegg, Mrs Middleton, Camilla, The Pope, the Queen of Spain, ...). So, not the most riveting read, but a great thing for the holidays.
