Queen dethroned at dinner
IT was like a scene from a Laurel and Hardy movie - a waiter pulls out a chair behind an illustrious guest and the guest crashes to the floor. But this time, the diner was the Queen - and she landed on her corgis. When fellow royals realised the Queen and the dogs had escaped injury, the family burst into hysterics. "Even the Queen thought it was hilarious. It's been the talk of the palace all week," an insider told the Mail on Sunday. The unceremonious dethronement came on Christmas evening as the family enjoyed a buffet dinner at Sandringham. As the Queen stood up, 25-year-old Fraser Marlton-Thomas - in royal service for only eight months - pulled her chair back from the table, assuming she was going to the buffet. A source said: "The chair had gone and she just fell backwards, almost in slow motion. "She always feeds her dogs titbits from the table and they were milling around her feet. A couple of them cushioned her fall and she ended up in a heap."

At last. Some sort of evidence that toy dogs are of use as anything but appetizers for real hounds.

He's lucky it wasn't Elizabeth the First he pulled the chair out from under. The court would be laughing hilariously at his beheading.
