Float like a butterfly

The only monarchs we have in the United States is our beautiful butterflies. It's interesting to watch Geoffrey Rush and Colin Firth with the transplanted Piers Morgan touching on the subject tonight. And just like the butterfly they simply alight around the topic but don't seem to get to the heart of the matter.

My American friends are in awe of the monarchy. We learned about kings and queens long before we started on the Revolutionary War. And what little girl hasn't been referred to as Princess. It might be more politically correct your daughter by Sasha; while we still long to be Queen for a Day we certainly would prefer to be dressed as Michelle.

Helena Bonham Carter actually met the Queen Mum as did Piers. We hope she wasn't dressed as the Queen of Hearts - that role will always belong to Princess Di. I like his description of her never explaining and never complaining. I guess when you are the Queen you rely on others to bide by your wishes.

And for those of us fond of the royalty we are certainly glad that their lifespan is much longer than that of the insect variety. Great interview with our new "king" of interviews with Piers Morgan.
