I know it’s exceedingly trivial, but…

One of these things…
…is not like the others: The above photo was taken at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration on June 3. On the left, the Queen; in the middle, Camilla (aka the Duchess of Cornwall—it’s been a long and winding road for … Continue reading →
