Photograph by Annie Leibovitz (best portrait photographer in the world?)
The anti-Royalist platoon can suck it for just now as what a magnificent thing to be living in the Palace since the German Air Force was trying to bomb it.
Annie Leibovitz gives me something of a vision of eternity in those mirrors which maybe in their way mirror the family going back for centuries with the newest (great-grandkid?) and oldest in the same view.
(Ed: reaching)
Dunno about that and maybe take a look at it a bit more. No doubt of one thing for me and that's the genius of Annie Leibovitz. The colors seem close to surreal ... but not. I see so much depth in it.
It's not long or may already have happened that Elizabeth becomes the longest-reigning monarch in the history of the British Empire and that entire pageant comes to that room in this photograph.
(Ed: it's not much of an Empire anymore!)
That doesn't make her any less of a Queen.
She gave a television broadcast on Christmas for that Empire or at least the Commonwealth and I remember it from when I was a kid. Keep in mind, I'm a kid in Australia so she really is the Queen, there isn't anything else, yet here she is saying, hey yah, on Christmas. This is stuff straight out of a fairy tale because, man, she's the Queen and she lives in Buckingham Palace and England, man, it's in a whole other country. wtf, I was a kid.
Don't be judging her on her birthday, just imagine what her eyes have seen.
