“And you don’t mess with the Queen. She’s a tough cookie.”
You bet. Prince Phillip and the Queen are remarkably tough and resourceful.
They’ve spent their entire lives dedicated to their country; that builds character.
Also, QE is a stickler. I have a wonderful cookbook by one of her ex-chefs and he goes into detail about her need to get things right. She’s even a little too over-the-top for me - insisting that pancakes be flipped not turned - and standing over chefs to see them do it.
