Apparently, the Queen feels bad about missing the opening of the Emirates Stadium and decided to have the lads over for tea at Buckingham Palace instead

Has and will continue being an interesting week for the Gunners.

I suppose there are enough Frenchmen on Arsenal that they don't need Lens for that. As far as Lehmann is concerned, I'm sure the Queen and her staff will be quite careful not to mention the war.

Absolutely, if anyone was going to upset anyone, it'd be Prince Phillip on the first visit.

Good inbreeders, strong hips! :)FYP. :p

Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip are second cousins once removed, both being descended from Christian IX of Denmark. They are also third cousins as great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria.
Yuck.

Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Evidently it didn't roll off the British tongue quite so easily during the Great War so it got changed to Windsor.
