“The queen bee thinks nothing of sacrificing a hundred soldiers to protect the hive. The queen ant goes even further, commanding thousands of her drones to forfeit their lives, all in the name of the greater good. But what you’ll never see is the Queen putting herself in danger. The Queen knows that without her, there can be no society.”

“I know. As Queen of England, I’m an important symbol. But I don’t understand what that has to do with me having one more piece of sponge cake.”

“We don’t want Charles inheriting one day sooner than necessary, your Majesty.”
