Don't own the DVD (nor do I desire to). I saw TPM once in the cinema, that was enough times for me. Even if it was deliberate it still seemed very unnatural. After all the "real" queen didn't talk like that when she resumed her postition (as far as I can remember). But I would be interested to hear what the explanation was, I assume it is something to do with royal tradition or protocol?
As far as Jimbo goes... actually I thought he was getting better... oh well, rules is rules I guess.
