“A happier occasion was in 2012 when the Queen agreed to take part in a spoof film for the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games. She was seen walking along a corridor in Buckingham Palace accompanied by the actor Daniel Craig, aka James Bond. Also in the video were Her Majesty’s favourite corgi and ‘Big Paul’ Whybrew in his dark uniform complete with decorations.”
Brian Hoey, Working for the Royals

“The Queen prides herself on being parsimonious, so nothing is ever allowed to be wasted in the Royal Household. Newspapers are shredded and used as bedding in the stables; uneaten food is recycled as compost by the gardeners; and Household uniforms are retained for generations. One former footman, named Nigel, said that”
Brian Hoey, Working for the Royals

“On his marriage to Princess Michael, an Austrian Roman Catholic, Prince Michael gave up his place but, in reality, it was merely a gesture as there was virtually no chance of him ever becoming King as he moved further and further down the line.”
Brian Hoey, Royalty Revealed: A Majestic Miscellany
