She could have at least worn Arsenal colors

Ho hum. There is nothing more boring that having to engage in small talk with the Queen. Speaking from experience, the woman is all too fascinated with the weather. It rains, my lady, get over it. It was the Arsenal players who had the opportunity to party with the Queen at a gathering over tea at Buckingham Palace on Thursday. The invite came after she had to bow out of helping to open Emirates Stadium earlier this season. The Sun has a lovely description of the shindig:

The players enjoyed a traditional English tea – drinking from bone china cups alongside the Queen – and tucked into a selection of delicacies from red onion and baby spinach wraps to pistachio macaroons.

Henry introduced his team-mates – a team assembled by Wenger from across the globe – to the monarch, who told him: “You have a very international side.”

That Queen, never one to be the mistress of the obvious. Do you suppose she had the spunk to ask Henry about that little dive?
