New Question: Brit Royalty ...?

How can you be so sure?  The Queen has two birthdays (natural and 
official), therefore she could very well have two mothers.  It would 
have been a bit much to expect the Queen mum to go through the whole 
business twice, so surely they could have found somebody else for 
the official birth.

So, who is (was?) the other, and, more importantly, how old is she?

The Daily Prophet can exclusively reveal that the 'other', official, 
Queen Mother is Mrs Belladonna Sniggs, of Bounce Green, Sussex, aged 
143.  Securing the post of Official Queen Mother in 1926 was a first 
for the wizarding community, and their wizarding heritage explains 
much that the Muggle community thinks odd or freakish about the 
royal family.

It is not well known in Muggle circles, for instance, that Prince 
Charles' ears owe something to an unfortunate Splinching incident 
involving a House-elf when he was still under-age and attempted to 
Apparate onto the set of the Goon Show.  Prince Edward was a fine 
intelligent young man until his attempt to cast a memory charm 
backfired.  Prince Andrew has never fully recovered from the love 
potion that his brothers slipped into his porridge at Balmoral, and 
Prince Philip's idiosyncratic views make much more sense when Mrs 
Sniggs' connections to the Black and Malfoy families are borne in 
mind.

It cannot be said for certain that rumours that Lord Voldemort 
drives a white Fiat Uno can be conclusively refuted.
