Um! Excuse me, but Her Majesty has never spoken from the balcony at Buckingham Palace........

And how exactly do you know that for sure, Ham? I mean - she may creep up their at 3am in the morning. Unless you've been watching her 24/7.

Hey! You're not that stalker who keeps creeping into her bedroom are you?

Drat! My secret is out. I've been rumbled...

I suppose what I should have said was that she has never 'proclaimed' from the balcony. Yes, of course she speaks up there - to those around her. She'll say things like, "Oh, do look Philip - there's Ham. down there. We like his new kilt. Let's give him a special wave. Come on, you too Charles. Alright? After three ........one ...... two ...... three!!"
