THE QUEEN’S LIFE
There are two addresses in London that the whole world knows. One is Downing Street 10, where the Prime Minister lives. The other is Buckingham Palace, where the Royal Family lives.
Buckingham Palace is two places, not one. It is a family house where children play and grow up. It is also the place where presidents, kings and politicians go to meet the Queen.
Buckingham Palace is like a small town, with a police station, two post-offices, a hospital, a bar, two sports clubs, a disco, a cinema and a swimming pool. There are six hundred rooms in it. About seven hundred people work in the Palace.
When the Queen gets up in the morning seven people look after her. One starts her bath, one prepares her clothes and one feeds the Royal dogs. The Queen has eight dogs, and they sleep in their own bedroom near the Queen’s bedroom. Two people bring her breakfast. She has coffee from Harrods, toast and eggs.
Every Tuesday evening the Queen meets the Prime Minister. They talk about news.
When the Queen invites a lot of people for dinner it takes three days to prepare the table and three days to do the washing-up.
Most people in Britain like the Royal Family. But some people say that Britain doesn’t need a royal family. They think the Queen has too much money and should give more to the British people.
