Current Headlines: Give the Queen an iPod…?
April 1st, 2009
If You Are the President…
What Gift Do You Give the Queen of England?
It’s a good thing that I’m not the President…. way too much stress for my liking. But, I was recently reading that during President & Mrs. Obama’s visit to the Queen:
“During their private meeting, President Obama and first lady gave the queen a personalized iPod with video footage of her 2007 visit to Washington and Virginia. She was also given a rare songbook signed by composer Richard Rodgers.
In return the queen and her husband, Prince Philip, gave the Obamas signed portrait of themselves.”(Source AOL News)
Whatever the Queen is into, I’m dying to find out if she’ll use it or not. This interest especially perked after my read of The Uncommon Reader.
TELL ME WHAT YOU’D GIVE THE QUEEN!

I think she has people to help her out with all the downloading stuff….kind of like her little library gopher in the Uncommon Reader. I do wonder what music she listens to, classical?
What a crack up the Queen getting an ipod. She would not have shown a shred of displeasure or joy either way. I am just imagining the Queen in her private quarters grooving away with the ipod plugged in and flo rider pumping out
More importantly where are the Obamas going to hang that picture? You wouldn’t want that in your house and it is safe to say the Queen will not be dropping round for tea.
Also has she given the same present to every President (there has been a few during her reign)? where are all these portraits stored?
The mind boggles!
I’m not sure what I’d give the Queen. I wonder what the British think of those gifts – I know they didn’t like the gifts the Obamas gave their Prime Minister.
The image of the Queen cruising iTunes slays me!! I’m sure she has a gopher to download stuff for her. Too funny.
