And this one:

Buckingham Palace has just announced that it had pleased the Queen to confer the honour of knighthood to Dr Kate Williams.
Kate Williams' infamous biography of Lady Hamilton has so pleased the Queen that she couldn't resist to declare: "It's my bedside book. I read two lines every evening and after that, I sleep like a baby. I hope to end the foreword this year".
Lady KW has declared that she feels very honoured and will give a public reading of a chapter as soon as she can find her copy of the book that is for now lost in Heathrow's T5. She added that she is writing a very infamous biography of Lady Di.

Congratulation Lady Kate, we are impatient to read your new book.
