Watching Queen Elizabeth’s coronation parade, friends wondered aloud who the little man sharing a carriage with the 400 pound Queen of Tonga might be. According to David Niven, Coward replied:
“Her lunch.”
He certainly was a one off.
Night night Mr Zen, sleep tight.
Ah, Queen Salote of Tonga, grandmother of the present King. Another rumour has it that it was hissing down on Coronation Day but that Queen Salote refused to have the cover of her carriage raised out of respect for the soon-to-be-crowned Queen Elizabeth.
It was more probably to keep her lunch moist (Cheap, imperialist joke) 🙂
