Sadly, that's not quite true. More like got ourselves wedged up the US's butt-hole.

With regards to NZ wanting to become a republic, I believe they did ask Betty Windsor about changing their status and she refused. They then asked her if they could become a Kingdom and she told them they couldn't because they didn't have a King, so then they said they would like to become a Principality and she refused again stating that they didn't have a Prince, and that therefore they should continue calling it a 'Country" !!

Errm, that's one of the more 'interesting' theories I've heard.

I wonder if Betty Windsor or the Queen Mum, god bless her, had nice pins in their day. Did anyone ever see them?

I think Lord Mountbatten saw Betty's left leg, right leg, and even something in between, when Phil the Greek wasn't looking.

Go on the old rascal! I heard she always ordered the flag flown at full mast when he was in the guest wing :)

Talking about her maj's pins - I've seen several pubs called The King's Arms but I always fancied being able to say I was waiting for The Queen's Legs to open so I could get a drink (yes, an oldie ... but a goodie).
