The Queen shocked regulars at one of Edinburgh's best-known pubs by dropping in for a bite to eat after a day at the races, it has emerged.

She visited The Sheep Heid Inn on Friday night after giving staff an hour’s notice of her impending visit.

The small royal party is understood to have taken a window seat and to have ordered two portions of lamb rump, one sea bass fillet, a martini and a half bottle of white wine.

The Queen needed a stiff one after learning who the new PM is going to be.

No King but Jesus.

Really, why is there still royalty?

These oh so progressive and smart sophisticated Euro people, who look down at us, aren’t really smart or sophisticated at all.

I got to say, Lizzie II might not be everyone’s cup of tea (pinky extended), but she is alright by me.

“Really, why is there still royalty?”

We have the 2nd Amendment as a circuit breaker on official tyranny and several European countries have constitutional monarchies that serve that purpose.

It worked just fine for Spain.

Well - I’d rather have someone wear the same clothes more than once (like normal people) than to wear a $18,000 dress once and be done with it (like Michelle).

I wonder if it is her “lucky” outfit.

“Yes - I know it isn’t the best color - but back in 1972 I won 20 pounds at the races, so I’m sticking with it!”

Without the monarchy, Britain is left to become little more than a degraded federation of diminished states.

Now the cooks and waitstaff have bragging rights that they were present to serve the Queen and her entourage.
