  • Sir Henry Ponsonby: Breakfast with the Royal Princes of Belgium. 11:00, an audience with the Sultan of Dubai, where Her Majesty will be presented with the Diamond of Oojay. Garden party where Her Majesty will receive Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway, again, and Queen Liliuokalani.

    Queen Victoria: Who on Earth is she?

    Sir Henry Ponsonby: A monarch and, uh, sole Queen Regnant of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Your Majesty. Uh, she has composed a song for you on the ukulele. Uh, but we have managed to put her off. Then you will eat with the Prime Minister and at 7:00, the banquet in the state dining room.

    Dr. Reid: And your movements, Your Majesty?

    Queen Victoria: Nothing to speak of, Dr. Reid.

    Dr. Reid: Not even during the day?

    Queen Victoria: We last moved on Sunday evening.

    Dr. Reid: I fear the celebratory dinners are taking their toll, Your Majesty. Might I suggest some Benger's mixture?

    Dr. Reid: But it is imperative, Your Majesty, that the Royal Colon receives a little roughage.
