So it was perhaps no surprise that Washington went a little gaga Monday, as Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, began an official two-day visit to the capital.Across the Atlantic, Helen Mirren, who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Elizabeth in “The Queen,” shocked the British conscience over the weekend by turning down an invitation to dine at Buckingham Palace. But on the other side of the Atlantic, the queen was making Americans go weak in the knees.The White House was decorated to perfection for an exclusive white-tie dinner on Monday evening, with President George W. Bush and the first lady, Laura Bush, playing host to the royal couple and 130 other A-list guests. But the morning was reserved for the masses or, at least, the masses with the kind of connections that warrant an invitation to the formal arrival ceremony on the South Lawn.It was a day for pomp and circumstance a military color guard, a fife and drum band in white wigs, red jackets and tri-cornered hats punctuated by a presidential slip of the tongue that lightened the moment during Mr. Bushs welcoming remarks. Mr. Bush reminded the 81-year-old queen that she had already dined with 10 American presidents.“You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 ” he went on, stopping to correct himself before 1776 could slip out. The crowd erupted in laughter, and the president and the queen turned to each other for a long, silent gaze. Then, Mr. Bush turned back to the crowd with an explanation. “She gave me a look,” he said, “that only a mother could give a child.”Mr. Bush had been the recipient of such a look once before in the queens presence from his own mother, back in 1991, when the first President and Mrs. Bush played host to their own state dinner for the queen. By several different accounts, including Mr. Bushs own, Barbara Bush told the queen that she had seated her son far away from Her Majesty, for fear he might make a wisecrack.Then, to his mothers horror, he did, telling the queen that he was his familys blacksheep and asking, “Whos yours?” The queen, apparently not amused, replied tartly, “None of your business.”If the queen was not amused on Monday, she did not show it. “Im sure she accepted it for what it was a slip of the tongue,” said her press secretary, Penny Russell-Smith.1.
