News of a Queen stunt double has sent shockwaves throughout the world after photos emerged of an obvious stand in and not the Queen herself rehearsing some of the highly anticipated key activities in the upcoming Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The Queen has been quick to allay fears saying that whilst a stunt double is being employed during rehearsals, the real deal will be the one performing all stunts on the day. In particular she emphasized that she will be, as all are hoping, attempting to beat her Golden Jubilee motorcross jump of 215 feet that so impressed the crowds those many years ago.
The Queen has assured her millions of fans that she herself will be performing all royal functions including and not limited to the famous royal motorcross freestyle jumping event.
Pundits are predicting that her Majesty will be attempting to jump an astonishing 250 feet this year but are not ruling out the possibility that the Queen will attempt an even longer distance to remind her many loyal subjects what makes the royal family so awesome and relevant in this modern society.
Actually, Queen Elizabeth II would accomplish the feat by making the jump over the entire royal family laid out on the ground head to toe in one line. Pippa Middleton will lay last in the line so that her bum will soften the queen’s fall should her Majesty’s jump fall short.
Watch out for this exact stunt next Saturday.
Spot on X. Somehow Pippa’s pooper will find a way to upstage the other Royals.
Camilla and Charles were supposed to make that very same jump when they came to Canada last month, except they were going to do it two-up on a Ski-Doo instead of on an MX bike (it wasn’t divulged who would be the one driving the snowmobile, for security reasons no doubt). Since I’ve seen no footage on YouTube, I assume they McChickened out.
Are you sure? Hard to see who is really under those helmets.

Is she now known as Evel Queenevel ?
We are on the same wavelength BigMunkeyMan. Have you ever seen photographic evidence of the Queen and Kneivel in the same room at the same time?
