The Queen and the Court Jester

| 2 Comments

My friend Melissa has twin girls who attend the British School in Washington D.C., so when the Queen of England came to town, she paid the school a little visit. According to Melissa, "a court fool was hired to accompany Her Majesty to the event that day":

That's hillarious.

I'm terribly sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the commenting system. I'm trying to track down the source of the problem and fix it. In the meantime, if you receive a "Comment Submission Error" due to an "invalid request," would you mind posting the comment on the contact form instead? Just include "The Queen and the Court Jester" in the subject field. Thanks for your patience.
