people about the queen when i went over for the queen s jubilee. she has a great sense of fun. wittingly funny and enjoys a joke and a prank when things go wrong. not a stoic, unfeeling person. the twinkle in her eye is something that also endearser to has people. you always love someone who enjoy as joke. one of the most important aspects, personality characteristics one must possess in life, considering all that life has to offer. especially when you re the queen of england for the last 70 years, and plus hopefully. keir simmons, keep us updated as we follow this breaking news. come back to us as you learn anything more. everybody else staying with me. thank you for that. much more coverage going all the way back to harry truman. we ll be right back. my husband and i have never been more active. shingles doesn t care. i go to spin classes with my coworkers. good for you, shingles doesn t care.
