Do not worry R C they are usually in the dark ! Good post mate , and thanks for doing them. - ray76, Nov 28, 2013

I just changed it. Sorry for the delay. Thanks Margherite and Ray! - RelaxingCup, Nov 28, 2013

AH ! They have seen the light . - ray76, Nov 28, 2013

Answer 1

jajaja, se ha hecho pis en los pantalones.

hahahah he has peed his pants.

Good one mate , that is known in royal circles as "the Royal We " - ray76, Nov 28, 2013

lol.... - osas-baby, Nov 28, 2013

Could be. - annierats, Nov 28, 2013

No, he peed his skirt: ) - Ranman, Nov 28, 2013

and there's nothing under there to catch the drips. - 0095ca4c, Nov 28, 2013

Perfect. - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Congratulations Aran :-) - pmikan-pam, Dec 3, 2013

Answer 2

Princess Diana dies - The royal family reacts.

La Princesa Diana muere. La familia real reacciona.

Wow. - Ranman, Nov 28, 2013

A daring answer, spot on! - annierats, Nov 28, 2013

PP certainly has a guilty look on his face. - 0095ca4c, Nov 28, 2013

Correct. - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Just: "La Princesa Diana.." - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Thanks RC - I've corrected it. - elwombato, Nov 29, 2013

Answer 3

Estoy preocupada por la pobrecita reina, que no tiene medias , como los dos principes. La vida no es justa y las mujeres siempre tienen que sufrir por su belleza. ( para estar bellas) .

I'm worried about the poor Queen, she doesn't have knee-high socks like the two princes. Life is unfair and women always have to suffer in order to be beautiful.

What are knee-socks called? - annierats, Nov 28, 2013

I doun't know annie, but you're right...it isn't fair. - 0095ca4c, Nov 28, 2013

Her Maj is wearing flesh coloured long johns.. - ian-hill, Nov 28, 2013

her skin is fine,she doesnt need socks. - osas-baby, Nov 29, 2013

'knee-sock' would be "media", as in soccer uniforms. So "que no tiene medias" or "que no tiene calcetines altos/hasta la rodilla" + "como los dos príncipes (accented)". The rest is "perfectísimo". :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

You can also say: "para estar bellas" for 'in order to be beautiful'. - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Gracias, voy a cambiarlos calzetinos por medias. - annierats, Nov 29, 2013

Answer 4

Being rich or royal can't make you beautiful.

Sé rico o real no pueda hacer bello.

Es verdad.. - rac1, Nov 28, 2013

with all that money,they can try plastic surgery. - osas-baby, Nov 28, 2013

I don't know, for their age they look pretty good, the Queen is ancient now. - annierats, Nov 28, 2013

Philip is not bad for a man of 92 either. - ian-hill, Nov 28, 2013

"Ser rico o regio/real no puede hacerte bello" (conjugated as second person but it's in general). - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Answer 5

Apparantly Prince Philip was the only one who was not amused by the comment about his bony knees.

Aparentemente el Príncipe Philip fue el único al que no le hizo gracia el comentario sobre sus rodillas óseos huesudas.

Jajaja - rac1, Nov 28, 2013

Excellent. - osas-baby, Nov 28, 2013

"rodillas huesudas". Very good! Also: "fue el único al que no le hizo gracia el comentario..." - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Thank you RC. Your corrections are much appreciated. I'm always getting myself into a pickle. :-) - 0095ca4c, Nov 29, 2013

You got my vote, too funny, sad but true. - pmikan-pam, Dec 2, 2013

Answer 6

Two men and a Queen.

Dos hombres y una Reina.

Or three queens! - 0095ca4c, Nov 28, 2013

jaja - rac1, Nov 28, 2013

lol - osas-baby, Nov 29, 2013

:D - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Answer 7

The queen laughs, we all laugh. The queen cries, we all head for the hills.

La reina se ríe todos nos reímos. La reina llora, todos nos dirigimos a las colinas.

Something like that amiga. - ian-hill, Nov 27, 2013

Very very good mate my vote. - ray76, Nov 28, 2013

Muchas gracias a mis amigos! - rac1, Nov 28, 2013

Very good! - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Muchas gracias RC! - rac1, Nov 29, 2013

Answer 8

Playing royals is difficult. There are times when we need to look formal on days that we play polo.

Es difícil ser reales. Hay veces en las que necesitamos vernos formales en los días que jugamos (al) polo.

Oh yes, all is formal with the royals. :) - rac1, Nov 28, 2013

Tricky one: "Hay veces en las que necesitamos lucir/vernos formales en los días que jugamos (al) polo." Very challenging and well approached. - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Thanks, RC. It was challenging indeed! - Raja-jani, Nov 29, 2013

Answer 9

We are most definitely amusing.

Estamos definitivamente divertido.

"Somos definitivamente divertidos."

If we are not, it's off with their heads! - rac1, Nov 28, 2013

Little help, please. Does this mean 'we're having fun' or 'we're funny'? - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

We are funny amigo. Queen Victoria famously said "WE are not amused" - ian-hill, Nov 29, 2013

Thanks Ian. Then: "Somos definitivamente divertidos." :D Un saludo! - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Gracias - but they are not amusing ALL the time :) - ian-hill, Nov 29, 2013

I understand. You have to use "nosotros estamos" to express something that 'we're are (temporarily)'. For example: "Estamos exhaustos". But in this case we are not being amused, we are the origin of that amusement to others. That's why you need "somos". - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

:--) But "we" are. - pmikan-pam, Dec 2, 2013

Answer 10

And next, a royal knees up !

¡Y ahora, una juerga real!

(Oh, knees up Mother Brown Knees up Mother Brown Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up Knees up Mother Brown - traditional party song)

Knees up mother Brown your pants are falling down ,ha ha you forgot the second verse. - ray76, Nov 29, 2013

Well,... I didn't want to offend the royalists. .. But whoever knows the song...;-) And we can always rely on you, Ray. :-) - Castor77, Nov 29, 2013

:) - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Answer 11

El Príncipe Philip: ¿Qué es tan gracioso? no puedo ver nada sin mis gafas.

Prince Philip: What's so funny? I can't see anything without my glasses.

Perfect. Also: "No veo nada sin mis gafas." - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Thanks RC - Mainer, Nov 29, 2013

Answer 12

Cómo hilarante él fue cortada la cabeza .

How hilarious ! he was beheaded.

Yikes!! - rac1, Nov 28, 2013

"¡Qué divertido/hilarante! Fue decapitado (he) / decapitada (she)". :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Oh no. Poor old sod. - pmikan-pam, Dec 2, 2013

Answer 13

A whoopee cushion! Jolly good fun on the old boy.

¡Un cojín de ventosidades! ¡Diversión muy buena en el sobre a mi viejo!

Maybe "diversión muy buena" or "diversión de la buena" + "en el viejo." I'm really not sure. :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 29, 2013

Thanks RC. - katydew, Nov 29, 2013

Answer 14

El Príncipe a la izquierda: ¡Ay! ¡No pueden hacer una silla más cómoda! ¡Mis hemorroides están matándome!

The prince on the left: Ouch, can't they make a more comfortable chair! My hemorrhoids are killing me!

"El príncipe de la izquierda". Otherwise perfect. - RelaxingCup, Nov 30, 2013

:-) - pmikan-pam, Dec 2, 2013

Answer 15

The best in British comedy. Lo mejor de comedia británica.

Should be: "Lo mejor de la comedia británica" or "en comedia británica". Un saludo. - RelaxingCup, Dec 3, 2013

Saludos RC, gracias. - pmikan-pam, Dec 3, 2013

You've got that right Pam! - 0095ca4c, Dec 4, 2013

Gracias Margherite :-) - pmikan-pam, Dec 4, 2013
