The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II
The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II | Karen Dolby
5 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II is a celebration of the Queen's reign through some of her wittiest, most sarcastic and humorous observations, revealing a fascinating side of her personality that often remains hidden from the public. When thinking of the Queen, our perception is often one of dignity and authority. She is seen as a serious figure: the British monarch, the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and the head of the Commonwealth. But as anyone who has ever met her will tell you, in person she has wicked sense of humour. Occasionally unintentional, like asking guitar legend Eric Clapton, 'Have you been playing a long time?,' sometimes sarcastic, and at other times downright silly, royal humour touches on every aspect of life, while always retaining a strong sense of dignity.

Listening to the audio book (currently up to Ch3). Occasionally amusing but (so far) not finding as many instances of QEII's 'wicked wit' as I was hoping for. There are also lots of instances of comments from other members of the royal family - finding the title misleading. There are a few lists (prime ministers and years served; births, deaths etc of the royal family) which don't translate easily to audio.

I do think our Queen has a fabulously cheeky smile, and apparently she can be very witty.

cute one sitting book.
it gives you a glimpse of The Queen that you haven't seen before.
you get some giggles out of it and it has little facts.
it even had a little bit of Prince Phillips one-liners. you know the ones!

GingerAntics Love this book. 💙💙💙 6y
