Alright, lol?
When it comes to being a monarch, there are a load of things you’d generally think are quite difficult.
Take having that many rooms to fill in your house, or ensuring that you never have a scrap of nail polish on, or waving to crowds from a distance.
Pretty difficult life.
All joking aside though, apparently waving for long periods of time is actually enough to send you over the edge a bit and actually warrant a special kind of machine to help you out.
We’re using the word ‘machine’ quite loosely here, just FYI.
According to Princess Anne, the Queen used to use a wooden lever with a stuffed glove attached to the top of it when her arms got too tired from all that waving.
She doesn’t do a whole lot of it these days so we can probably go ahead and assume that it’s not so much of a thing anymore – plus you’d absolutely get caught rapid if you were waving a lever around the place these days.
Quoted in book, Queen Of The World, Princess Anne said:
“(Students) gave her a stuffed glove on a wooden lever.
“You could tweak the end of the lever and this hand went to and fro. They thought it was cheeky but Her Majesty was thrilled.”
Anything to get through the day, are we right?
