Another sign of the recession: the Queen of England has been spotted wearing the same outfit twice, AFP reports. Normally, etiquette dictates that she never re-wear old outfits, but she’s been spotted in Slovakia wearing the same pink wool number she donned for Easter Sunday. The Queen has also insisted that lights in Buckingham Palace be turned off when not in use, and that leftover banquet food is re-used. (The article does not say by whom.) According to Nicholas Davies, author of several books on the monarchy, “It is unlikely that this coming season we will see William and Harry going out to nightclubs, getting blind drunk and fooling around with attractive girls.” At this rate, it will be a miracle if the tabloids stay in print.
