When you’re meeting Queen Elizabeth II for the very first time, you’d want to make a good impression by dressing well and getting her an awesome gift to really show that you care (and followed all the royal protocols).
But when you’re Scott Morrison, well, you do things a little differently.
Ol’ mate and his wife, Jenny, met up with the Queen at Buckingham palace for the first time since he was elected PM and he brought her a gift for the occasion. But rather than something grandoise like an elephant, or an exotic trinket like a shark teeth sword, Scott gave her a biography on Winx, that champion racehorse he’s weirdly fascinated about.
Seriously, he gave the Queen a book about a horse.
He put in as much effort in getting the Queen this gift as he did last Mother’s day.
Not sure if a book about a racehorse is something the Queen fancies, let alone one that was gifted to her in a daggy shopping bag straight from Dymocks or Big W.
Hell, when Prince Harry and Meghan came to Australia, they got showered with over 200 gifts that included two didgeridoos and a heap of baby stuff for Archie. But hey at least it was signed by the author and Winx’s owners so that’s gotta count for something.
As far as gifts to the Queen go, we felt Scotty could’ve done a bit better so we decided to spice up their meeting with a bunch of other Aussie things he could’ve given her instead.
For all we know, the Queen could be a massive AFL fan.
Some Shannon Noll tunes is never a bad thing.
Or perhaps she’s more of a John Farnham fan.
Rissoles, anyone?
Here’s hoping the Queen has a sweet tooth.
And for dessert: A Woolies mud cake!
