Theresa May: Queen Elizabeth’s the cat with 13+ lives
No, mate. This has got nothing to do with the cat at Downing Street.
Larry, who’s been Number 10’s chief mouser since 2011, should have no more that nine lives.
We know we’re taking the saying out of context. Please indulge us.
It’s got to do with another cat a human being with no less than 13 lives.
Queen Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) has been the monarch over the “kingdom” of Great Britain since 1952.
Isn’t that fantastically great?
