1. QUEEN: “You can undress me with your eyes all you want, but the hat stays on.”
2. QUEEN: “I saw Elton John wearing it, and I just ‘hat’ to have it. Get it? ‘Hat’ to have it? Bit of English hat humour for you.”
3. OBAMA: “You’re required to carry your constitutional powers on you at all times? Where do you hide them?”
QUEEN: “I guess you’ll have to search me.”
4. QUEEN: “Due to recent cutbacks, I had to sell my crown, but Prince Philip says this hat is just as impressive.”
5. QUEEN: “Don’t be hatin’ on this hat, hater! You be wantin’ any sugar or milk with your negativi-TEA.”
CROWD: “Aww, snap. Oh, no, she didn’t!”
6. QUEEN: “Well played, President Obama. I can’t believe I fell for the glue-on-the-hand handshake trick, and then you got me to straighten my hat. Well done. I may be the Queen of England, but you’re the King of Pranks!”
7. QUEEN: “Really? You like it? I wear this old thing when I don’t care what country I’m entertaining.”
8. National Treasure 3: You watched Nicolas Cage steal the Declaration of Independence. Now prepare to be riveted as you watch Obama steal the Queen’s hat.
9. OBAMA: “Just let me try it on for a second.”
QUEEN: “No.”
OBAMA: “Please?”
QUEEN: “No.”
OBAMA: “Please. Please. Please. I’m not going to break it. I’ll give it right back.”
QUEEN: “No.”
10. OBAMA: “In my country, when someone bets her hat on a horse race and loses, it’s understood the hat in question is the hat she was wearing when she made the bet. She can’t go back home and choose a different, cheaper hat.”

I wore a hat at an English wedding once. Already I was in the minority since the fashion has apparently moved on to those lovely fascinators. Never seen so many women with dead birds in their hair all gathered in one place.
At the reception (in the couple’s back yard), I kept the hat on for an hour or so, but then took it off for some reason. An older woman, who’d been one of the only other women with an actual hat, came running up and said “Oooooh, good on you, dearie! You were the last hat off!”
Apparently, this means something. Still not sure what. Who knew? I just didn’t want to display my hat hair. These English and their hats… Still, I wish Americans wore more hats. I look good in a hat. Even better than a cat would.

Is there a more romantic way of celebrating a wedding than wearing dead birds on your head?

She walks like she’s wearing a cake on her head, trying to keep t upright at all times so it doesn’t tip off off.

damned if I can find the actual bit where he discusses the Queen wearing a cake on her head.
Number 10 amused me greatly, and, I agree with limr:
Who doesn’t look good in a hat?

Is it me or is Obama looking unimpressed or preoccupied here? Maybe he’s pensively hating on Vin Diesel.

Ya know, I can’t imagine what those two actually could have possibly talked about! The BBC? Jaffa Cakes? I don’t believe they could possibly share the same views on ANYTHING. It’s not like they can talk diplomatic or economic relations that would amount to anything. She doesn’t run the country. Maybe they discussed the difference in decorating schemes between the two abodes. Her palace compared to his house….I’m sure there’s a couple THOUSAND square feet difference. Maybe discussed their chef’s cooking techniques for preparing Beef Wellington. If anything, I would hope the President had a chance to talk to Stephen Ladyman, Transportation Minister, maybe he could talk him into taking down those stupid speed cameras they have mounted on their road ways! What a crock of s**t that is!

I just assumed she wore the hat to distract the Obama’s from her husband’s blatantly racist commentary. Usually, no-one cares when he insults foreign dignitaries, but that’s because usually they can’t nuke us back to the stone age.

I wonder if they prepped Phillip at all. He has been known to make the occasional good-intentioned but obviously racist comment from time-to-time.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of her smiling before. Wait- is she getting ready to unhinge her jaw and assimilate him into the royal hive mind? Yes. That must be it. Not smiling. Whew, that was close.
