Penspotting: Queen Elizabeth

I watched a PBS show about the Queen and her family- really a rather
interesting slice of 20th century British history, BTW- and there was
a scene of the Queen reading and signing papers at her desk. This
looked pretty recent, I would say, from her appearance.

The pen she used was obviously a Parker 51, and it looked like the
recent LE in blue with silver cap.

What? She didn't use a Parker Accession LE?
(did I post this correctly?)

A while back I suggested split posting. Don't you really think part of
your response should be above and part below.

I'm so confused now.

Please help us, Tim.

She has already exceeded. Look at the next two generations she begat.

Well, not in the clip I saw, at least. 'Twas clearly a 51 in blue,
and the cap had that shiny polished look of the LE. However, she is
Queen, after akk, and may have a Parker to match every Corgi.

Sadly I did not see what color ink she writes with. Royal blue, one
presumes.

Perfectly correct as always, ma'am.

You're a smart lad. I have faith you'll figure it out.

Except that it won't be Aurora blue, but a Diamine blue if she is
concerned with the economic welfare of her subjects. :0)

Why? What types of fountain pens do they use?

Oh dear. Well, he is the King of Coasters already, so perhaps this is
not wholly without merit.

Well, if it's of any consolation, second in line to the throne is
Prince William, if I remember correctly. Perhaps he will hew to the
choice of his namesake!
