The Queen’s criticism of politicians was barely a whisper – to defend the constitution against no-deal Brexit, she needs to shout
She could end this lunacy at will if she told the prime minister she would not tolerate any such affront to democracy. Even he isn’t cocky enough to pick a fight with the head of state
The Queen is no stranger to accusations of serious crime. Lyndon Larouche, a prison time-serving Nixon aide and habitual joke presidential candidate, claimed she was the mastermind behind the entire global drugs trade.
Countless theorists accused her of orchestrating Princess Diana’s assassination, just as others will be peppering social media (if they aren’t already) with the notion that she arranged Jeffrey Epstein’s death to protect Prince Andrew.
Although it feels fairly safe to dismiss the above as products of hyperactive imaginations, I wish today to plant the seed of a criminal conspiracy theory of my own.
