Elizabeth II: Queen of England. Duchess of Edinburgh. Defender of the faith. Gamer.
In what may be the worst—or best—piece of Nintendo Wii propaganda we've heard yet, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is, we understand, a red-eyed, thumb-twitching videogame fiend.
British tabloid The People gushes that the "gadget-loving Queen has become HOOKED on Prince William's new Nintendo Wii games console." Prince William's paramour, Kate Middleton, tracked down a system during the holidays and gave it to the prince for Christmas.
A loose-lipped palace spy insists the Queen Mother—81 years young—just had to jump in for a frame of Wii Bowling:
"When she saw William playing a game after lunch at Sandringham, she thought the Nintendo looked tremendous fun and begged to join in.
"She played a simple 10-pin bowling game and, by all accounts, was a natural. It was hilarious. William was in fits of laughter. He was enormously impressed at having such a cool gran.
"His only difficulty now is prying it away from the Queen's clutches. She showed all the signs of becoming a Nintendo addict."
Christmas with the Windsors. What can you do but laugh in self-defence?
God save the Wii. We mean it, man.
