I love the idea that she's the LAST - since the death of Mitterand - head of state that served in WWII and has been getting intelligence briefings daily since 1952. You can see how the PMs consulting her better have their ps and qs all set.

AND, evidently, she does a killing imitation of Nancy Reagan. I'll never forget when, the day before Chuck and Di got married, he was playing in a polo match and Liz drove herself to the match in a station wagon with a scarf over her head. Nancy Reagan arrived in a motorcade dressed for a fancy ball while Liz was in a generic tweed outfit and sensible shoes. It was, after all, a polo match.
