Queen Farts during BBC News

This isn't fake, I was in the room when it happened. The BBC broadcast a fart noise straight after a film about the Queen. I've told her to send it to Russell Howard.

Just been on youtube, someone else has posted the same clip. The camera angles on the telly are different. This is genuine, but you can believe what you want.

If the Queen farted in a moving carriage some distance away, how is a microphone going to pick up the sound? In any case, the footage being shown was stock footage, and if you ask me, the acoustic feel is that the fart was in the same room as the TV set. It sounds like the old urban myth featuring various monarchs that has been going around since Victoria's time. We find the motif rendered in its most basic form in the 1972 Patrick O'Brian novel Post Captain, in which a drunk midshipman named Babbington transports a plainspoken lady in the back of his horse-drawn cart:

The horse slowed to a walk — the bean-fed horse, as it proved by a thunderous, long, long fart.

"I beg your pardon," said the midshipman in silence.

"Oh, that's all right," said Diana coldly. "I thought it was the horse."

Other stories have a horse farting while drawing the royal carriage and the Queen apologising to George W Bush, Idi Amin, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Prime Minister of Australia, the Prime Minister of Canada, Emperor Bokassa of the Central African Republic, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, (take your pick) and that person saying what Diana says above.

We're not seriously suggested that was the Queen farting. That is however, a recording of what the BBC broadcast today. The farting sound was broadcast...honest.

Does a queen -- any queen -- even have an anal orifice which would enable her to pass gas?

Have you ever thought of becoming an Englishman? You've got the pip pip pip patriotism off pat.

Oh but it can happen:)

My Grandmother was the Queen of Gas, we don't think she realised she was doing it, bless her, love you Grandma, miss you heeps...

I really do not know.
My friend told her little daughter about the "birds and the bees". The little girl looked very sceptical, so the mother asked her something like "Don´t you believe me????
Answer from the girl "Maybe you and Dad , but NEVER Queen Silvia and the King"
So Kings and Queens are different.

I would like to apologise for this ****-awful sentence. I posted in a hurry between ad breaks in The Sopranos, and was slightly tipsy.

Her Majesty the Queen has been trained, from a young age, never to fart unless a lady in waiting is in the vicinity, with some loo roll.

Just in case.
