Kate's granny-in-law is a cut-up!
On Friday, Duchess Kate made her first official appearance in London since returning from the royal tour nearly two weeks ago.

Prince William's bride, 29, stopped by Buckingham Palace for a date with Queen Elizabeth II. The fellow royals accompanied one another to a brand-new, hugely popular exhibit (over 150,000 tickets sold!) spotlighting the April 29 wedding. See more photos of Kate and Queen Elizabeth II at the exhibition.
Kate, showing off her super-slim figure in a white dress, looked on at new displays featuring her iconic wedding dress (designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen), tiara, earrings, jewelry -- and even her wedding cake!

And the Queen, 85, showed where her grandson Willam, 29, got his wicked sense of humor. As she and Kate looked at the wedding dress, the Queen quipped of the display, mounted on headless mannequin, "Horrid, isn't it? Horrid and dreadful!"
As the duo toured the state rooms of the palace, the Queen added, "You've seen this already, so... you don't really want to see it again, do you?"

7She was joking people!
just posting this so everyone can see this pic of my beautiful baby
The Queen is a witch; always has been, always will be. Can't wait until The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge take over!!!
I'm going to bet it was more about seeing her dress on a creepy headless mannequin (those things are freaky)than about the dress itself. And frankly, I can imagine for someone who lived through the royal wedding experience, seeing the paraphernalia on display probably is pretty boring.
Lala...it's called a joke. Buy yourself a sense of humor, if you know where to get one.
The Queen is jealous of the beautiful Princess Kate.
I love both of them. The Queen seems very comfortable with herself and seems to have no jealously toward the beautiful, young Kate. Queen Elizabeth was quite attractive herself when she was Kate's age. I think she looks great when she dresses for special occasions.
