These pictures are awkward. They really show the distinction between the common people (peasants & serfs) and the Queen (monarchy). Forget that noise, England. All that rich hoity toity stuff is elitist.

Check out the stare down in the 3rd pic. . . "One is not amused!"

I wonder if Prince Philip made any of his widely inappropriate comments?

The reason that it looks that way is she does not cast a shadow, except in 1 pic where it looks like they attempted to draw one in.

Rumor has it she does not cast a reflection in mirrors either.
