Queen Elizabeth II might be the epitome of British decorum, but when it comes to finances, she's kind of like your own grandma. On Thursday, Us Weekly shared one of the queen's most surprising money habits: she only carries cash with her on Sundays, because - like your grandma - she "donates to the church collection basket." A source close to the 89-year-old monarch adds, "Her butler irons a 5-pound note into a little square by folding it until you can only see her face." How amazing is that? Just carrying around money with your own face on it and making it rain during Sunday service!
The queen made news last week when it was revealed that she'd bestowed her granddaughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, with the Royal Family Order, the highest honor that can be given to a female member of the royal family. The order is a small diamond-framed badge painted with a portrait of the queen, which is hung from a yellow ribbon and worn at state functions. We'll likely be able to see the duchess wearing the storied piece of jewelry in her upcoming appearances this month.
