Help - Have to put together "Royal quiz" asap!

[Willow2]

We're having a street party on tuesday and I have just remembered that I have been roped in to putting together a "royal quic". I know little or nothing about the Royal family - and while I could no doubt cobble something together over the web I am out and about between now and then and have little time to pull it all together! Anyone got any good questions or facts I can include?

That should say Royal Quiz - duh.

1)Who began a speech to the Women's Institute with: "You know, British women can't cook."?

2)Who, according to his wife, slept "in a little sleeping suit with feet, like babies wear."?

3)Which animals, along with the pelicans, did Charles I introduce to St James Park?

4. Which royal chatted up 3 teenage girls at a houseparty with the line: "There's a ghost in my room so I'll have to stay in this room with you."

5. What did Alice Perrers give to Edward III, causing him to die?

6)Which Royal arbiter of the nation's taste used to have an immense collection of grotesque plush trolls on show in his private rooms?

7)Who died of apoplexy in his royal coach after eating too many melons?

8)Who said, when the National Anthem was played on the telly, "Switch it off! Unless one's there it is embarrassing- rather like hearing the Lord's prayer while playing canasta."?

9)Which children's author refused Queen Victoria her request for a photograph of himself, claiming that he only made photos available to younger women?

10. Who, on being shown Niagra Falls, commented "It looks very damp."?

ANSWERS

1. The ever tactful Duke of Edinburgh

2. Prince Albert (Lucky old Victoria, eh?!)

3. Crocodiles

4)Prince Andrew

5)Gonorrhoea

6)The Prince of Wales

7)George I

8)The Queen Mother

9. Lewis Carroll

10)The Queen

HTH.

Just found these surfing around - you'll easily find more if you haven't already got enough!

Thank you you have saved my bacon! The only things I know are along the lines of how much tax payers money will it take to do up Clarence House for Prince Charles - which probably isn't getting in to the spirit of things!

Is it a holiday there on Tuesday??? Excuse my colonial ignorance! Saw the Queen's concert and the fireworks etc on telly on the weekend... We had a holiday yesterday actually for Foundation Day (the day our state - Western Aust - was founded). Next week is a holiday for the Queen's Birthday, but for some reason us Aussies celebrate it on two differnet dates depending what state you live in! When is her birthday really?

The Queen has two birthdays - her actual one (21 April) and an official one (sometime in June). Yes it is an extra Bank Holiday here but somebody as to cover the office so I am actually working. Boring.....
