Making it With The Queen.


Annie Liebovitz apparently pissed of HRH Elizabeth II, heir of Henry the VIIIth.

The Daily Mail reports that Beth stormed out of a photoshoot, after a Annie Liebovitz asked milady to remove her crown. The BBC captured the scene on video as part of a documentary entitled " A Year With The Queen" and captures the moment when Her Majesty lost her cool.

Apparently Anne thought Beth looked too ... well, formal or dressy with the garment sof her office AND the monstrous crown of the British Empire. Beth, according to the Daily Mail, sanpped, "Less dressy? What do you think this is?" pointing to her costume. Then she founces off with some Carrier of The Hem supporting the large train of her blue velvet cape.

The there is the final portrait. Am I missing something or is this a rip off of Gainborough's Blue Boy? Or is she supposed to be Darth Vader ...

BTW, how many folks from Seattle are aware of the great statue of Vader on the edge of the UW campus?

Well ...

the BBC has apologized, claiming this was a splicing artifact. So mit sounds as if the Queen DID sit nicely for Anne.

Still, the resemblance to Darth Vader and the UW statue is remarkable.
