Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born on April 21, 1926. Here she is photographed in a christening robe that has been in the royal famly for generations.

This is one of the most beautiful old-time pictures I have seen. I love the way the Prince and his wife and baby are posed, forming a perfect triangle, yet maintaining a very natural tableau.

Triangle? I'm lost.

But, then again, I've seen and heard enough about Teh Queen this past week or so.

Yeah,she'soldbeenqueenforalongtime,Igetit,manyhappyreturnsmovealong.

The corners of the triangle being his head and elbow and the babies head.

If a queen in a hive hears another queen about to hatch, she simply heads over and stings it. If she's not there to sting it, it hatches and the hive has a new queen.)
