9. Hahaaa! We ladies do love our purses, but why she has to have hers
hanging on her arm at that time is hilarious.

And look at the body language -- it's plain to me that she & Prince Philip like the Obamas & feel very comfortable with them. :)

2. I'll bet that Obama is happy that this meeting is over.
I just hope that in his private meeting he did not kiss her ass.

14. I particularly liked:

Actually sounded like she was a 'normal' person, greeting visitors!

between Himself and Michelle.

The look on Phil's mush reminds me of Ron Manager : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWzkxe98auc :rofl:

What is particularly unusual is that the Queen's voice isn't edited out from the track. I think she may actually talk like Kathy Burke : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaIHPOHCjzs :)

5. I always assumed that the Queen and Prince Phillip were tall.
Their children are all quite tall.

6. Philip maybe
allowing that he may have shrunk a bit with age. The Queen has always been tiny - I doubt she ever crossed 5 foot max.
I've only seen her live once when she drove past in one of her Rolls Royces waving. I figured then that she was sitting on a booster cushion. :)

7. I never knew she was so tiny, either
And Prince Philip was a surprise, too. The Obamas sure tower over.

8. The Queen was always a weenie
and has shrunk with age too. I still think she's sweet.

12. the queen and prince look like midgets.
I didn't know how short the prince was. I guess both of them have shrunk. It's kind of a metaphor for each couple's respective power.
