I particularly liked her reason for declining. She didn’t feel that she met the criteria, as you are only as old as you feel.

Queeny is awesome though, it's the twonks around her that tend to do silly things.

Quite agree. She is a model of good sense and restraint in a modern world that seems to be fuled by "me first", "I want it now", and "I have rights" - as demonstrated by some of the minor royals who, like their peers, seem to want to have their cake and eat it as well.
