How do we know this? When England won the world rugby championship, Her Majesty got out her phone (probably from one of those heinous handbags) and sent grandson Harry a text. Harry, who hangs out with all those "scrumbags" and was celebrating with them after they beat Australia for the crown, told the team the text was from his "nan" and that they were all invited to Buckingham Palace for tea to celebrate their victory. Now that's one modern monarch. Recent missing link stories you may enjoy. Update your subscriptions Select newsletters you would like to receive from the list below.
