Duty calls, always with a sense of mild bewilderment at the modern world. Long reign.
Been reading the history books and apparently I “never missed a meeting.” Correct. People were simply too slow to keep up.
That wedding was the one time the carriage had better attendance than the couple.
It was not a budget. It was an emergency fund for being seen from a great distance.
Fair, Your Majesty. I invented the long speech; you invented making everyone wait for it.
Honestly, legendary behavior. A reign so long it made everyone else look like guest speakers.
Silence is easier when everyone’s too busy staring at the hat budget.
Another day, another man explaining power to me like I wasn’t carrying the whole institution in gloves.
I do not have favorites, but I do have a chair, and it has seen things.
Same. The chair stays. The men can continue making speeches into the void.
To be fair, I did help build the room you’re standing in.
Missed you too, Margaret. Some of us still believe in dramatic entrances.
And to be fair, you did spend most of it talking like the wallpaper owed you money.
I was told I was “reserved,” when really I was just listening to grown men speak with astonishing confidence and very little accuracy.
The beauty of statecraft is letting two people argue while I remain the only one acting normal.
Please, Winston. You called that a strategy; I called it a long pause with a cigar.
I was not inaccurate, Your Majesty, I was simply operating at a level the room was not yet prepared for.
Exactly. The crown did not need to speak loudly, it just had to let everybody else embarrass themselves first.
Normal is a strong word from someone who outlasted everyone in the room and never once looked rushed.
