Police Warn of Upsurge in Royal Begging

The public are being urged not to give money to the Queen, if she approaches them in the street asking for a pound for Buckingham Palace's roof.

Police say they are receiving more and more complaints from members of the public about royal harassment as the recession bites deeper.

"'Ello, 'ello, 'ello. The Queen can often be found sitting outside 24-hour convenience stores with a corgi on a string to elicit sympathy from shoppers," warned community policing spokesman PCSO Dixon. "But she will also shamble up to vulnerable-looking people walking alone, demanding larger and larger amounts of money and becoming increasingly abusive and threatening. First of all it's a quid to repair a leaky hole in her bedroom ceiling; but if you reach into your purse for a pound she's straight in there, asking for another 50p for fresh lead for Windsor Castle, then another pound to unblock the loo at Sandringham - the list seems to be endless."

"The irony is, if only you knew, she lives the life of Riley on public handouts," he continued. "If you follow her, you'll see her unashamedly stocking up on fags and booze, which she liberally shares out to her fellow heads of state when she gets back to her pad - which is rather more fancy than what most of her victims go home to."

"Don't be fooled by the frumpy, dowdy old rags she wears in public," he added. "She's got more fur in her wardrobe than Longleat Safari Park. Evenin' all."
