Remember yesterday's 3 word response? "Are you okay?"
That's a headline trend these days. I find that the Queen had an eight word warning for Andrew after his catastrophic interview. I can't find them in the article.
In comparison, there are a number of sources with the headline of her one word response after reading the transcript of the interview: "intriguing".
Even the security officer involved is listed by the number of words - 10 words said to Prince Andrew after the interview: "I think, sir, you might have to come with us."
Or maybe it was four words. During a private audience, the monarch told Andrew he will no longer be known as His Royal Highness “in any official capacity” — and that he will be left to fight his lawsuit in the US as a private citizen.
Another quote has it a bit longer but the word count wasn't expressed in this one: "The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties.”
What about the Queen's five word remark after giving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Frogmore Cottage: “I hope they respect it.”
What about two words the queen will never say because they are too common? "lounge" and "toilet". Moving to the current Royals, there are 7 words that Queen Camilla said to King Charles after almost losing her hat.
And we can probably conclude with the nine-word dig at King Charles - I guess he would have been Prince Charles then. It was: "Your father always does what he wants to do."
