英伦广角 2012-12-22 英女王出席内阁会议 打破英国200余年惯例

 They say the Queen has seen it all before. Well, actually, not this. Though she meets David Cameron regularly as she did 11 of his predecessors 1. She had never attended a full meeting of the Cabinet. Normally a bussling affair as the Monarch 2 took her seat. You can hear a pin drop or a camera shot a click. The Prime Minister chose to point out the rarity of the occasion.

But we think the last time a Monarch attending in a cabinet was in 1781 during American War of Independence. But I’m happy to report that relations have been improved slightly since then and I’m got to speak with President Obama on video conference this afternoon.
Danny was on her parliamentary business. The Queen may have been riveted 3 inwardly. Her warn into injection after the Cameron’s left was to imply ministers to make the next Queen’s speech short. In fact, as Sir George Young lays out the usual law jam of legislative 4 proposals watch carefully. And you’ll see the royal eyebrows 5 twitch 6.
We’re gonna have to make some solutions to search for priorities. And once you’ve taken some decisions.
There was time for a couple of jovial 7 group photos. And what to buy for the woman who has everything. What else plays maps. We told they were top of the Monarch’s Christmas list.
In the event, a little more than half an hour in cabinet for the Queen. And that will do. She’s now heading off with William Hague to a further engagement at the foreign office. But imagine it might be, one or two discreet 8 sides of relief from ministers around Cabinet table.
The foreign Secretary was able to tell the Queen that a large part of Antarctic was being named Queen Elizabeth Land, another jubilee 9 goody. That’s not everybody’s taste. 
Knowing flashman Dave Cameron, he is in for these populistic stone sound. The Queen is being used if only she knew. But maybe, she’s a willing participant.
Barham bag ministers would respond. 
It was really a great occasion for all us.
I was a few nervous when you are meeting Majesty 10. But now I almost relaxed and she seemed to enjoy the great probation 11 have her sit in. 
What if she gets a taste for them, she’s back in every way now.
Well, you never have this life in a moment in the past. It won’t happen.
The Queen’s visit to the vault 12 of the bank of England a week ago was clearly on her mind. As she was introduced to ministers, she took a moment to ask the Chancellor 13 about UK gold deposits. The sound is in distant, so we’ve subtitled these exchange.
I saw all the gold bars.
Yes.
Regrettably, they don’t belong to us.
Some of them sold, but we still got some left.
Few subject of conversation could have been more welcomed to George Osborne. He knows that with Gordon Brown who sold those gold stock before the price rose. Just another reason why government ministers will remember this physic with fond nurse and their guest. Well ,it was another red carpet, another box ticked.
J Sky news, Downing Street.
